Why there was no trial for Michael Cohen

I am reading in the news that Michale Cohen will be sentenced today, however, I haven't seen any information about trial.



Is that because conviction is related to perjury plea, hence there is no need for trial and process is skipped right to the sentencing?



Or is there special process of trial when special counsel / prosecutor is involved?

    Generally, a trial is held to resolve some controversy. In a criminal case, that would happen when the government claims the defendant is guilty and the defendant claims that he's not. In this case, Cohen has pleaded guilty, meaning that both he and the government agree he is guilty. There is no disagreement for a trial to resolve.

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
