  • 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.
