Using bullet graphs

Learn how to visualize data in a bullet graph.

What bullet graphs visualize

Use a bullet graph to show a key performance indicator (KPI) and its context. A bullet graph can help you measure a current metric against contextual markers including past results or a target value.

Use cases

A bullet graph can use dashboard space efficiently to visualize many kinds of KPIs. Use a bullet graph for executive or summary dashboards to optimize visualization data density.

Data for bullet graphs

Use data that includes one or more key performance metrics and contextual information, such as severity ranges or target values. Contextual values are most likely predefined and can come from a lookup.
