Gauge for progress to goal
An executive wants to see at a glance how close this quarter's revenue is to the quarterly goal, shown as a single value on a circular arc with the goal marked on it. Which visual fits best?
- A.Stacked column chart
- B.Gauge
- C.Scatter chart
- D.Table
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Gauge
Why: A gauge shows one value on a circular arc between a minimum and a maximum, and it can show a target value as a marker, which suits progress toward a goal. A scatter chart shows relationships between measures, a stacked column chart compares parts across categories, and a table lists values without showing progress visually.
