First a point about the words ‘valid’ and ‘correct’. Strictly, validity is a property of arguments: an argument is valid if the conclusion follows ‘validly’ from the premises. But either a proposition or an argument might be called ‘correct’.



When it comes to your particular argument, it does slightly depend what the point is. Suppose, for example, the aggressor’s point were:




I can go on hitting you as long as I like and you can’t stop me.




I can think of no other ‘proof’ than to go on hitting until the victim gives in! It would, of course be physical abuse and not an argument.



But, in general, this is a report of an quarrel in which the assailant has become unhinged and, failing to persuade, has resorted to violence. So neither validity nor correctness applies.

            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?
