Hi

 

I am using Dial Guage and the pointer value is 3.96 but in visual its appearing as 3.96999997 . Is it a bug or some settings required to be fixed?

Can someone help me.

    Try going into your model and editing the number of decimal places for your column or measure to 2 decimal places. If that does not help, it is likely a "bug" with the custom visual not respecting format settings.

        Hi shilpib,

         

        Based on my test in Power BI Desktop version 2.40.4554.463 about the DialGuage sample, the Decimal Places settings for the field which place in Point Value property will not reflect the displayed value in the DialGuage visual. The point value display as two decimals always.

         

         

        I found the latest DialGuage version is updated on 10/5/2016, which should be updated again to adapt to the desktop changes. For this issue, I would suggest you contact the author of DialGuage visual by send the email to [email protected].

         

        Best Regards,

    Can you share how you got the color formatting. I have been trying to set values as measures but not being able to get the Green - Yellow - Red in that order

     

    Thanks in advance

      Hi

       

      Check the above mentioned post which has an example file. Try to use it the same way.

      The Dial Gauge can show "red" defined by "Actual Start" and "Actual End", "yellow" defined by "Target Start" and "Target End", and "green" defined by the rest of the range out of "Min" and "Max". The cell naming is very confusing. I would recommend replacing "Actual" with "Red", and "Target" with "Yellow".

       

      As to the display data format, yes it is correct that the Dial Gauge does not repect Power BI numerical format at all. Hope the author will get it fixed soon.
