Bullet charts display a single metric performance and progress towards a certain goal or against a benchmark. You can optionally display a target value, and set it up to 3 ranges.
1. Bullet Chart: With Target and Ranges
A Gauge chart alternative in Looker Studio. Bullet charts don't always need to be this big - this example is only used to explain details.
A center blue bar shows the actual value of the metric. In this example that is 2021 YTD revenue.
In this example, the target is set to 1 million and the blue line represents how far the target has reached so far against the Black target line
Ranges are set manually, and the following range value should be greater than the last one.
Recommended: Yes
