Sliding Scale Visual

Hi Guys,   Does anybody know if there is an existing sliding scale visual as shown in the image below? Or maybe there is a trick that can be used to achieve this. Ideally the arrow would shift left...

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    One option can be to make 3 different visuals:

     

    - Bar chart for the category

    - Scatter char for the shape

    - Card for the value

     

    Create a table with the Category data:

     

    Category      ID

    Initial 1
    Repeatable 2
    Defined 3
    MAnaged 4
    Optimized 5

     

    The compose your visualization based on the following

    Bar chart:

    • Axis: Category
    • Value: Sum ID
    • Change colours
    • Data Labels on inside end
    • Adjust the Category width, and inner padding to put bar together
    • Turn off Y axys

    Scatter chart:

    • X-Axis - Column or measure that you want to have highlited
    • Make the X-axis with minimum and maximum value from1 to 6 (or other as fits you calculations)
    • Change the Shape to whatever you would like ( my case a triangle) and make it a big size in preference
    • Adjust the dimension of the scatter chart X-axis so that the number align with the spaces between the bars of the bar chart
    • Turn off bar x-axis

    Create a Card with the measure that you want to have value.

    Group all of the elements final result below and in attach file.

    Be aware that if you place the scatter chart and card above the bar chart you need to turn off the background.

     

     

     

     

    Hope thi helps to give you an idea about how you can do it without any custom visuals. Only just some ideas.
