How to Create a Gauge Chart Quickly
Part 1: What is a Gauge Chart?
A gauge chart is used to indicate or measure the size of something. A set of values is plotted on a gauge or dial, and a needle points to a value on the gauge. Typically, gauges will have a minimum and maximum zone. The needle will not only indicate the value on the gauge but also how close the value is to the minimum or maximum value.
Gauges are best used in areas or fields where you need to know how close you are to the minimum or maximum value displayed on the gauge. For example, a sales team might use a gauge chart to determine how close they are to meeting their sales targets.
