Chart format | A format can be chosen from the /wiki/spaces/CXO/pages/2806776298 list. This Format relates to the colors of the gauge elements: needle, numbers, background.

How to create a Gauge Chart
The behavior of the Gauge chart is defined by the list, used in the Data Source Parameter.
You can create a Gauge chart with the fixed values or a dynamic chart, which will change the behavior based on the item, picked from the related Item Selector (see External Item Selector report parameter).
Example
Let's consider an example of a dynamic report, which will allow to pick different accounts for the Gauge chart.
To achieve this we will combine a Gauge chart with an External Item Selector Control, also available in the Free Format Report.
1. First we will will include there several accounts in a List that is cretaed to be , which will be used in the Item selector:
2. Then we will create the list, which will be used as a Gauge Data Source. Only Category dimension will be included in the list, as the account value will be defined by the Item Selector.
3. Now define the following Report Settings:
- Set the Item Selector setting to the list from Step 1
- Set the Data Sourcesetting to the list from Step 2
- Set the Half-Circle Setting to Yes
As a result, we will get the following Gauge Chart which display the values for any account, picked from the Item Selector:
