Building Gauge Charts in Microsoft Excel

Gauge charts are visualization tools used to show KPI performance, with gradients demonstrating the ranges of poor, medium, average, and excellent performance.

The gradients are designated as zones, and the common interpretation of the zone colors is red = poor, yellow and orange = average, and green = excellent.

The gauge chart tool below contains two variants: a 3-zone gauge chart and a 5-zone gauge chart. Instructions for customizing the chart to fit your data visualization needs are in the Excel template.

I’ve made this gauge chart tool available to download on my Selar page: https://selar.co/owq9
