Key Takeaways

  • The effectiveness of gauges on dashboards is an often debated topic.
  • The Dial Gauge is completely data driven, which means not only must your measure (drives the needle) come from a dataset, but also the different thresholds ranges must come from your dataset too.
  • There are no specific format settings for the Dial Gauge, which does limit you a bit with what you can do with this gauge.

  • Again, under the Format paintbrush, there are no specific settings for the Dial Gauge, but you will have a set of settings that appears on every visual to adjust the background color, add a border around the visual and lock the aspect ratio.
