Progress to Goal

Angela Fulcher (Past Member)

Hi! 

Anyone have any success or good ideas for progress monitoring visualizations in Analytics OTHER than indicators? I want to increase my ink-to-white ratio, and indicators aren't sensible when you have 12+ goals to progress monitor. Would love to see the goal vs. actual listed - but I'm struggling with Analytics. 

Thanks!

    Something i stole from 's dynamic pricing dashboard is highlighting a cell when it gets to a certain % of total. Eg: 80-90% is yellow and 90-100% is red. It can really draw the eye to important tasks in an otherwise complex widget.

    Here's my seat revenue pivot

    Our Marketing team really loves that coloration. I also added a coloration to the section count because sometimes a section would meet the threshold for a dynamic price increase, but it was only one seat. The way I colored it was this:70-80% is yellow to advise the potential is getting close on a section for a price increase. 80-90% is green to advise that that section is now in the threshold and ready for an increase. The section count of 1 seat is read to make it very obvious.

    Thanks - I'm not using a pivot so I won't be using this tip this time but I appreciate the note! We're going for a quick read, so I'd like to stick with bar or column charts. But I have used conditional colors on our plans dashboard!

    (Also if we're talking color, I try my hardest to avoid using red. In my experience, users get anxious when they see red. If people request a stop light color palette, I like using yellow, green and blue (blue meaning goal is exceed) unless I have color blind users, then I use a color blind friendly palette.)
