A Gauge visualization displays a single metric value with a pointer, resembling a speedometer, to provide a clear view of performance against a defined target or range. This visualization is particularly effective in highlighting how close a metric is to its goal, allowing users to quickly assess performance at a glance.

Features

The following key functionalities are offered by the Gauge visualization:

  • If a goal value exists, a white line will be drawn to indicate it for the selected metric or dimension.
  • The maximum value can be set to calculate automatically or be aligned to a metric or custom value.
  • The total figure above the chart can be toggled on or off based on your preference.

Considerations

  • The color gradient is determined by the selected color theme.
  • Comparisons against other periods are not supported in this visualization.
  • This visualization displays data for only one metric or dimension at a time.
