Progress toward a goal is a powerful way to motivate stakeholders toward achievements. Tableau is a great tool to help visualize progress toward a goal using reference lines, highlight tables, donut charts and custom images.
You might wonder, "What is the best way to visualize progress toward a goal?" The answer is, it depends on your situation. Is this for a single variable? Does it need to be demonstrated over time? Does the data need to be broken into business segments?
Join us as we explore how to build a number of different charts that have the ability to demonstrate progress toward a goal.
