    Perfect timing on this video! I've been dealing with trying to transition a dashboard with a speedometer chart from Excel to Power BI and was having a lot of trouble. I think I'm going to try the bar chart idea. However, I need to show a range of outcomes relative to the thresholds, not just a single value. Need to play with it and see if I can make it work.

    Many thanks, that's ingenious. I thought of a way to get Excel to place the 0..100 text labels, too. Just add a third donut series to carry the labels (no fill and no line of course). It will need 13 sections of width 0, 5, 10, 10....10, 95 and labels, "0", "", "10", "20"... etc.

    You'd need to create a separate sheet for the big version of each chart and then insert a hyperlink from the dashboard to each 'big' sheet, so when they click on the small charts in the dashboard it takes them to the sheet where the big version of the chart is.

    Would it be possible to have a gauge (or speedometer) chart...using doughnuts similar to your speedometer...but that not only show the 0% - 100% range (horizontally, where the 0% is far left and the 100% is the far right of the gauge)...but to also extend the gauge to include negative values (that would extend the gauge to the left, going backwards...making a circle below the horizontal axis) as well as values that exceed 100% (and would go to the right, going forwards...making a circle below the horizontal axis) that currently stops at 100%?

    Yes. Add more columns to your source data table and extend the series to include the new columns. Set the 'line' for the Actual series to 'no fill' and add a gap width to the columns so they have space between them.

    You publish the reports to the Power BI service. You and each person wanting to see the dashboard needs a Power BI Pro licence.

    I had never thought of using a pie chart for the needle! On the rare occasions when I have used such a chart I have tended to go for a superimposed scatter chart with a single line segment from (0, 0) to (SIN(ϑ), COS(ϑ)). A nice thick red line and a faint shadow (maybe with a similarly formatted red disc at the centre) and all is ready to go! Just a moment of heresy. The purpose of such a large display of a single value, is to force the audience to focus on the value by excluding other information that might distract from the key point.

    Thanks for sharing your technique. If you’re only displaying a gauge chart then ok, but most people put them in dashboards where they aren’t the sole focus.
