Gauges

Gauge charts are used to visualize performance against a target using a speedometer-like display. Perfect for dashboards, they quickly convey KPIs like revenue, progress, or customer satisfaction.

Chart setup to build an angular gauge:

Configuration option	Configuration value
Axis	Drag the dimension to plot on the axis (e.g., Month).
Values parameter	Drag the measures to analyze (e.g, Actual, Plan, 2024 Actuals, 2024 Plan - Created visual measures for demonstration purposes).
Chart type	Select Vertical Linear gauge from the Chart Type dropdown menu.

Angular gauges are ideal for displaying a single key performance indicator (KPI), such as system utilization, completion percentage, or performance scores.

The Min and Max values specify the range of values between which the actuals and target should lie.

When the secondary actuals and target are not assigned, a single gauge will be plotted.
