# Summary Metric in Charts

What does the summary metric displayed in charts represent, and how can I change it?

## What is Summary Metric

Summary metrics shown at the top of some [favorite charts](https://support.speedcurve.com/docs/custom-charts-dashboards), such as timeseries charts, and represent each data series as a single value.

Summary metric value **defaults to the latest value** for each data series.

Hovering over a metric value will give you a tooltip with more context about the summary metric:
