Advanced Gauge

This custom visual is often used in executive dashboards to show key business indicators. It is a great way to represent a metric against a scale with optional qualitative representations illustrated by colors.The custom visual helps in displaying the health of the KPI using a qualitative scale for simple understanding. It also indicates the progress towards a goal.
