Hi @Anonymous

 

It seems you may try to use Donut chart or Pie chart visual. Below is the similar thread for your reference. If it is not your case, please explain more about your expected output.

The solution is basically the Tachometer visual (from marketplace) inside a donut chart.  I used some values and measures to make everything line up correctly.  Hopefully you can mold it to the solution your working with.
