Hi everybody,

I'm trying to use a circular gauge graph in order to display a percentage increase or decrease of our businnes, but I can't parameter the gauge to reach a risult similar to the attached document.

Is there a way to style or parameter this kind of graph?

Thank you in advance for your help.

There is a gauge graph in Graph Assistant, however, it is not easy to control.

If you create it in PowerPainter, you get much more control over the graph. Please look to PowerPainter to do the gauge style graphs.

Robert,

thank you for your suggestion, but even using PowerPainter I'm not able to control the graph: conditional styling is not working and I can't set the figure scale or min/max values.
Probably I'm doing something wrong, do you have some documentation I may refer to?

This could be a meaningful graph, but without control is not that useful.

I'm at your disposal for any further information.

Kind regards

Giovanni, You are correct. At the moment we do not support a Maximum value for the gauge which is really what you want. We are hoping to provide this support in Web Query in an upcoming release. Currently you can have your gauge show the correct band colors but the needle will usually point to the right. This will be solved when we can specify a max value for the bands.
