Create Progress chart

Everything you need to know to create the chart you want.

Overview

Progress (Solid gauges) display progress against a target using a circular arc. Think of them as minimalist speedometers for KPIs.

When to use it

• Highlighting a single metric vs. goal (e.g., completion rate, NPS).

• Creating dashboard tiles where quick status recognition matters.

• Showing a range with clear minimum/maximum thresholds.

Avoid gauges when comparing many categories—use bar charts or sparklines instead.

Data requirements

• Single numeric value.

• Works best with percentages or values bounded between min and max.
