Gauge visual with multiple targets

Hi All,

 

Is it possible to have a gauge visual with two different sets of targets? E.g. "Plan", "Revised Plan"?

 

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I can't find any custom visual that meets your requirement.  Maybe you need to create two visuals:one for plan and the other one for Revised Plan.

    I know I am late to this one, but wanted to post this solution:

    I created 2 Gauge visuals with the same min and max values.

    1st one has the Values and Target.  Do not display the target value (alignment issues) and shut the background off.

    2nd should have only the second target set as the value and be 80% the size of the 1st.

    set the colors as desired.

    put the 1st visual on top of the 2nd and align centers.

    group the 2 visuals

     

    it should end up looking like this:

    I've just looked through 3 similar topics and found no solutions.

     

    Why didn't you add several ticks to the gauge? It's obvious that there might be more than 1 target. Honestly I believe that whoever designs those visuals have never worked in a non-software company.

     

    Instead you either propose very 'creative' solutions or suggest to add an idea which by the looks of things will not be realized in the near 5 years anyway.

    Wasted 4 -5 hours tried every gauge chart ever available .... and even charticulator doesn't help..

     

    Chat gpt was not able to answer this .. conversation went in circles..

    Lol the fun part is it got trianed by me..

     

    Lets just pivot data and use stack bar chart 

     

    Would be happy to recieve a satisfying solution.

    Hello everyone,
    I have the same problem, and I tried to stack two gauges like suggested by egsiegel in his message, but the client need to modify the threshold time to times, so I thought that instead of a gauge there is another visual (like a bar char ecc.) in which I/he can put easily and manually thresholds/target values, visually "similar" to the gauge.

    Any suggestions?

    The Dial Gauge custom visual might be what you're looking for. it allows you to set Target and actual.

      Anonymous thank you for the suggestion but I believe that is more useful if you have a target range as opposed to two single point-value targets as I have?

  • Hi all,

     

    Did anyone find any solution to get 2 different targets as 2 different lines? Your help is highly appreciated.
