Hi Everyone!!!!
Happy New Year πβ¨ wishing you a great start to 2026!!!!. And welcome to the first Tip of the Week of the yearππππ.
Bullet charts are one of the most effective ways to compare performance against a target in a compact and readable format. Instead of using gauges or multiple KPIs, a bullet chart lets you show actual values, targets, and qualitative ranges in a single visual.
In Domo, bullet charts are especially useful when you want to track KPIs like revenue, sales, conversion rate, or operational metrics against a goal. The main bar represents the actual value, the marker line shows the target, and the background bands give context such as poor, satisfactory, or good performance.
π What you need.
A main category such as city or region, a numeric measure like sales or revenue, a target value to compare against, and performance ranges to provide context.
π― Perfect for.
Tracking KPIs against goals, comparing performance across cities or regions, reviewing results by team or business unit, and quickly answering whether you are below target, on track, or exceeding expectations.
π Tips:.
- Keep targets realistic and clearly defined
- Limit the number of performance ranges to avoid visual noise, and
- Use consistent scales across bullets so comparisons are immediate and meaningful πβ
When you need to answer the question βAre we on track?β a bullet chart usually does it better, faster, and with less noise than most other visuals.
