Using percentage in a guage

Can't get my head around this...

 

What I want to do is create a percentage guage of the 256 over total records 2300.  The percentage should work out at about 11% and I want this 11% to be shown as the guage reading with a target of 8%.

 

How do I get from the table below to a guage which shows the percentage value of the Y records below?

    Have you worked out which visual you would like to use?

     

    On the "From Store" button you can get access to some extra visuals, one called a Tachometer should achieve what you are attempting.

     

    To achieve that, after downloading the visual, you would simply need to:

    • Create a measure that simply returns count when BHLD Y/N Flag = yes.  I have put an example below
    • Place the measure in Value box
    • Place [Order] column into End Value and set as count
    • Create a measure to calculate your Target value, which you have indicated is 8% in this example.  I don't know how you arrive at 8% so hopefully its easy for you to create.
    Y Flag Count = CALCULATE(
    	CountRows ('YourTable'[Order]),
    	'YourTable'[BHLD Y/N Flag] = "Y"
    )
