Hi,

Thanks for the solution saud968 offered, and i want to offer some more information for user to refer to.

hello @vjnvinod , based on youe description, you can use the custom visual Tachometer to implement it .

When you load it to power bi desktop, put the tarhet value and the actual value to the visual.

Hi @vjnvinod 

If you want to have two colors in the visual, you need to put the range2 start value to to it.

@saud968  yeah tried that, not useful though, is it possible to develop this using Charticulator or something?

there are few visuals available in market place, but all are paid ones

I am not sure about Charticulator you can give it a try...  I will suggest this custom visual  - https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381184?tab=Overview
