I have never seen them at the portfolio level, although I suppose you could use a table with either the performance indexes or variance to try and show health at a glance. Combining the values from individual projects would make no sense whatsoever, as there is typically no "completion date" of a portfolio. You keep adding new projects and closing out complete ones.

I agree with Keith.
Moreover, you better see what they(sponsors, managers, etc.) would like to see in their reports.

I used to sort projects in a portfolio dashboard by combined CPI/SPI figures.

*Since Portfolio has relation with strategy, you can analyze the number of projects (ongoing and completed) that are aligned with strategic objectives.
* Treemapping is a good tool to display information about a set of projects. EV metrics are calculated for each one, and then the software combines all the information on a rectangle-colored dashboard, The color of the rectangle is representative of the level of performance. This representation allows reviewing the global state with a glance. This article would be helpful to you:

Nandhini -

While EVM metrics for the individual components in a portfolio might provide some insights into performance to support governance decisions, they lack some key insights required such as expected vs realized business value & the relative level of risk.
