Gauge


Darren Holmblad (TPO)

Director, Product Owner • Microstrategy, Inc.


Starting in Strategy 2021 Update 5, there is an new out-of-the-box, feature-rich, Gauge visualization. We highly recommend using this visualization instead. It is located in the More section of the Visualization Gallery.
 

Description

Capture a key metric using a dial with a needle that points to a specific point in a data range. A gauge chart resembles a speedometer or gauge, with the outer ring of the dial color-coded to provide additional context. For example, green can be used to indicate a good or acceptable value and red can be used to indicate a bad or unacceptable value.

Gauge charts are often used on executive dashboards, with each displaying a single key measure and allowing executives to quickly determine whether key metrics are performing well or not achieving target values.
