Effortless Data Exploration – Dive Deep with Qlik Sense Gauge Charts

Gauge charts are used to show a single key performance indicator (KPI) in the form of a dial or needle that points to a value on a scale. Gauge charts are also referred to as dial charts or speedometer charts. They are often used to display data such as progress towards a target or the status of a metric.

In Qlik Sense, gauge charts are available as a visualization type in the chart options. To create a gauge chart in Qlik Sense, follow these steps:

1. Open the Qlik Sense app and navigate to the sheet where you want to add the gauge chart.
2. From the toolbar, select the “New Object” button.
3. In the “Add Object” window, select the “Chart” option.
4. From the chart options, choose the “Gauge” chart type.
5. Drag and drop the desired measure and dimension fields onto the “Measures” and “Dimensions” boxes.
6. Customize the chart by selecting the “Properties” tab and adjusting the various options available, such as the gauge type, range, and appearance.
7. Once you have finished configuring the chart, click the “Apply and Close” button to add the chart to the sheet.

It’s also possible to create a gauge chart using the Qlik Sense extension library. Extensions are custom visualizations that can be added to Qlik Sense to provide additional chart types or other functionality. To use an extension to create a gauge chart, you will need to install the extension and then follow the extension’s specific instructions for creating and customizing the chart.

Gauge charts in Qlik Sense are used to represent a single value as a gauge or dial, with a needle that moves across a range of values. Gauge charts are often used to represent (KPIs) and other measures of performance, such as the current level of sales or the status of a project.

To create a gauge chart in Qlik Sense, follow these steps:

1. Load the data into Qlik Sense
2. Create a new gauge chart
3. In the Properties panel, select the measure you want to display as the gauge value
4. Set the range of values for the gauge
5. Customize the appearance of the gauge chart, including the colour scheme, labels, and needle style.

Gauge charts are useful for providing a quick, easy-to-understand representation of a single value, and they can be used to provide real-time updates on the status of a project or KPI. To make the most of gauge charts in Qlik Sense, it’s important to choose an appropriate range of values and to use colours and labels that are easy to understand and interpret.
