Dumbbell Chart by MAQ Software

Dumbbell Chart helps users analyze changes in critical data. This visual is an excellent choice for illustrating the change between two data points and comparing the distances between them. Dumbbell Chart gets its name thanks to its resemblance to a gym weight. The visual consists of a dual-axis combination chart, where one axis is marked by a circle and the other is marked by a line that spans data points provided by the user. Key features include: · The ability to display the performance of multiple indicators. · The ability to compare the growth or loss of indicators across various categories. · Easy interaction with many data points using the zoom functionality. · Quick downloading of an image of the chart with the capture image widget. R package dependencies (auto installed): plotly and ggplot2

  • it would be immensely helpful to have the ability to format in this chart

    thickness of line

    size of dumbbells

    axis spacing (so category names can fit if over the current size limit)

    Is the visual available for use in other PowerBI books?  Real question is, "Is the visual available in the store?"

     

    Great work BTW.

    The pbix file doesn't work for me. It doesn't show any dumbbell chart. 

     

    Am I missing anything?

     

    Thanks

      Hello Anonymous,

       

      We recommend you to update to the latest version of Power BI desktop (October 2018) and test the report. 

       

      Let us know if this resolves your issue.

       

      Thanks.

        Hi  MAQSupport,
        It works for me now after update to Oct version. Thanks. 

        It does look really good. I love it. However, it doesn't seem to show all of my data (i.e. no vertical scrollbar) and I can't sort it. Also, I think it would be really useful if there is an option to show in logarithmic scale.

        Looking forward to seeing more enhancement.

         

        Cheers,
