Available in a focused view (when you select and focus on items in a dimension), in all modes except for Transaction mode.
A Gauge chart displays performance within a range. Red, yellow and green each represent a range entered you set up, typically relating to business goals or targets. The pointer typically moves from red or yellow to green when a target is met or exceeded. If left blank, no color will appear.
The Gauge and Summary charts have similar configuration options. See Configure the chart options page for more information.
Gauge charts can be used for many reasons, such as:
To view data containing a comparison or variance, for example, sales vs. budget or profit this year vs. last year.
To count a number of something.
To track performance against a target, such as Sales Rep performance, as illustrated in the dashboard image below.
Example: Track Sales Rep performance against budget
In the Sales database, create a Gauge chart to visualize whether a Sales Rep is tracking against the budget.
Prepare the data in the grid:
Select the Sales Rep dimension, then select and focus on a particular rep (Bert).
