The big number component doesn’t allow me to choose two different data sources if one of the big numbers isn’t in a custom container. When I place the big number in a custom container it duplicates the value.

The Big Numbers component takes one or more values from a single row. If you want to use values from different tables, what you can do is pull those values into the source row using either Single Value columns, or Relations + Lookups.
