Better Visualisation Suggestion

[powerbidev123]

Hi Community,

I have a Columns namely Skill, Actual value, Target value(which is constant value for each skill). I want to represent it in a better manner which looks clean. Currently I am using bullet graph from xviz from more visuals section. Can anyone suggest a better visual more like consisting of bubble like representation for each skill . TIA!!

@powerbidev123 You can try these options:

Option 1: Use the "Stacked Column Chart" and add a Constant Line:

Option 2: You could also use "Clustered Bar Column" chart and add a target line

Option 3: Try like creating Measure for Target and compare it next to each skills

Option 4: Use Table with Data Bar as Conditional Formatting:

Hi @powerbidev123 - you can consider the following alternatives to the bullet chart

Use the "Scatter Chart" visual.
Map:
Y-Axis: Skills
X-Axis: Actual Values
Size: Target Values
Lollipop Chart:

Use a combination of line and circle visuals from the "Custom Visuals" marketplace.
Conditional Formatting for Bars:

Use a clustered bar chart.
Apply conditional formatting based on a measure to compare actual vs. target.

Not sure if this also looks pleasing. My sample data structure looks this 

Target value is constant which is 4
