Custom Labels on visuals

Hi All, 

 

I'm not sure this is possible but I thought I'd ask just in case there's a workaround.

 

I'm using the guage visual to display the time taken to complete a task. The limits of the gauge are the best and worst times and the gauge value is the time at the last test.

 In order for the gauge to work the times are given in seconds. However, a text label showing hours, minutes, seconds would be great. E.g. 6000 seconds = "1 h 40 m 00 s"

 

This is the intuitive way to display it and I can turn the numeric value into a string without any problem. The issue is, how do I display it on the visual? Is this a feature the visualisation doesn't have?

 

Help greatly appreciated,

Hi @Anonymous,

 

If you do a measure with that text label with hours that you refer you can add it to the visual option Tooltips in that way you gauge will show both values when you stop on top of the gauge values.
