The Gauge visualization displays a single value that measures progress toward a goal. It allows the viewer to assess the performance of a KPI at a quick glance. The gauge fills to its value with the ability to assign a target value or goal through a measure or a hard-coded value. This visualization is also an effective mechanism for displaying rate of change, similar to a speedometer, for ‘live’ data. The example below shows usage of this visualization, including switching between the horizontal and vertical variants.

This visualization accepts up to 1 dimension and up to 2 measures. A target value can be derived from the first or second measure, or hard-coded in the options panel.
