Overview

A Linear Gauge Chart displays a single Measure value as a position along a straight bar with a tick-marked scale and defined Minimum and Maximum endpoints. It is the linear counterpart to the Semi Gauge (half-circle), Radial Gauge (full circle), and Full Gauge (full-featured) variants.

Linear Gauge Charts are authored from Lens → Design → Chart Designer → Visualization → Linear Gauge Chart. The Gauge group exposes the chart-specific configuration. Other Properties and Columns inherit from the Bar Chart, though the linear gauges visible Properties surface is more focused than Bar Chart.

When to use it

  • Range-position display where a straight-bar layout — particularly a vertical thermometer-style bar — fits the Dashboard better than a circular gauge.
  • Narrow Dashboard strips where horizontal bars align with surrounding Bar Charts.
  • Side-by-side comparison of multiple gauges where consistent bar orientation reads more clearly than circular arcs.
  • Performance-against-target visualizations in a thermometer-style vertical layout (the default).

Properties tab — Gauge

The Gauge group exposes the Linear Gauge’s chart-specific configuration.

Vertical Gauge (toggle)Controls orientation. On (default) renders the gauge as a vertical bar; off renders horizontally.
Minimum TypeControls how the Minimum endpoint is determined. “Input” is confirmed as one value (manual entry of the Minimum). Other Type Value is Report.
MinimumLower endpoint of the gauge range. Used when Minimum Type is Input. Default appears to be 0.
Maximum TypeControls how the Maximum endpoint is determined. Same Type values as Minimum Type.
MaximumUpper endpoint of the gauge range. Used when Maximum Type is Input.

Linear vs. Radial vs. Semi vs. FullLinear, Radial, Semi, and Full Gauges are the four Gauge variants in the family. The data and Min/Max semantics are the same; visual layout and configuration depth differ — Linear bar (with orientation toggle), Radial full circle, Semi half-circle, Full full-featured with richest configuration.Semi Gauge Chart PD; Radial Gauge Chart PD; Full Gauge Chart PD

Key behaviors

Vertical by default, horizontal on toggle. Linear Gauge rendering as a vertical bar with the Vertical Gauge toggle on. Turning the Toggle off produces a horizontal layout. This is the only Gauge variant in the family with a built-in orientation toggle — Semi (half-circle), Radial (full circle), and Full (richest) have fixed visual layouts.

Type selectors confirm Full Gauge pattern. Minimum Type and Maximum Type dropdowns alongside the Min/Max value fields. The Type selectors are a real Gauge-family feature visible on Linear Gauge and Full Gauge.

Position derived from Measure within range. The Linear Gauge places its value indicator at the position on the bar that corresponds to where the Measure value sits between Minimum and Maximum. The indicator renders as a colored fill from the Min anchor up to (or across to) the value’s position on the scale.
