Gauge Chart for Power BI
AI-generated gauge chart for Power BI. Describe what you need in plain English; download a ready-to-import .pbiviz file. Full TypeScript source included.
A gauge chart shows where a single value falls on a defined scale, often with colored bands marking "red / yellow / green" zones or a target marker. For executive dashboards, it's the most compact way to say "we're at 72% of target, the yellow threshold is 80%."
Power BI ships two gauge variants, but both are limited: they can show only one value, band colors are hard to customize, thresholds aren't visually obvious, and you can't show multiple gauges stacked for comparison.
VizForge generates a Power BI gauge custom visual tailored to your thresholds. Describe the scale (0-100, 0 to some max measure, or a signed range), the target markers you want, the colored bands, and the needle/arc style — our AI writes the .pbiviz with your exact design.
When to use a gauge chart in Power BI
- SLA attainment (current value, target line, breach threshold)
- Quota attainment for a sales rep or team
- System health score (multi-band gauge)
- Utilization gauges (capacity, occupancy, CPU)
- Risk score dashboards with color-coded zones
Example prompt
Example VizForge prompt
Radial gauge, 0-100 scale, current value in the center as a large number. Red band 0-60, yellow 60-80, green 80-100. Target marker at 85. Thin grey arc outside the active segment.
Data shape required
A single measure for the current value. Optional: a target measure, a minimum, and a maximum. Bands can be hard-coded or driven by measures.
Typical DAX measures
Attainment = DIVIDE( [Actual], [Target] ) * 100
Attainment Band =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
[Attainment] < 60, "Red",
[Attainment] < 80, "Yellow",
"Green"
)
Needle Angle =

FAQ
Can I have multiple gauges on one visual?
Yes — VizForge generates a multi-gauge grid when you specify 'show one gauge per category'. Each renders independently with its own bands.
Full circle or semicircle?
Either. Prompt for 'semicircular' (classic speedometer) or 'full circle' (donut-style). Partial arcs like 270° are also supported.
Can bands be measure-driven instead of hard-coded?
Yes — the visual accepts three optional measures for band thresholds so they update with the data.
Is there an animated needle?
Yes, enabled by default. Prompt for 'no animation' if your report auto-refreshes frequently and the transitions distract.
