Intro
A gauge is a simple chart that indicates progress towards meeting a target. A face gauge uses an image of a face to show progress towards a goal. Three ranges are available—a red frowning face for “poor,” an orange face with a blank expression for “fair,” and a green smiling face for “excellent.” Learn about other gauges in Domo.Power a Face Gauge
A Face Gauge requires only two columns or rows of data from your DataSet—one contains categories, and the other contains the values. If multiple categories are present, only the first category is used; all the others are ignored. If the first category contains more than one series, the series are aggregated to yield a single value for the gauge unless you select No Aggregation. Only three ranges are available in face gauges. Learn about properties for gauges. For information about value, category, and series data, see Understanding Chart Data. In the Analyzer, you choose the columns containing the data for your face gauge. For more information about choosing data columns, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart. The following graphic shows you how the data from the category and value columns in a typical column-based spreadsheet is converted into a face gauge:
