Stoplight Range

Stoplight Range — instant, at-a-glance status for any KPI Stoplight Range turns a single measure into a familiar, instantly readable traffic-light indicator. You define the value ranges that matter to your business; the visual evaluates your metric and lights up the housing whose range the value falls into — in the color, brightness and indicator you choose. Built entirely in SVG, it renders a photorealistic stoplight with a lens that glows in the range color, so status jumps out from any report or dashboard. WHAT IT DOES (THE OFFER) Stoplight Range maps any number to user-defined ranges and communicates the result as a glowing stoplight. Highlights: • Value-in-range logic — set the start of each range (up to 20) and an optional ceiling; the visual finds the matching range and lights it. • Single or multiple housings — show one compact indicator, or one housing per range (a classic stacked stoplight or a horizontal bar) where only the active range lights and the others stay dimmed, so viewers see where the value sits along the whole scale. • Rich indicators — display arrows, math and status symbols, the digits 0–9, or your own image inside the lens, rendered as an LED matrix in the range color. • Photorealistic housing — real metal, hood and chrome ring, with a glow, halo and hood shadow composed in code so any color looks natural. Highlight the active housing with its own color to make the current range unmistakable. • Neutral and empty states — clear, configurable behavior when a value is out of range or a filter returns no data, instead of a broken render. • Legend, titles, status and value labels — fully styleable, with global "same settings" options and per-range control. • Conditional formatting — drive range colors and label text from your own measures (format by field value). WHO BENEFITS (THE USERS) Stoplight Range is for anyone who needs to communicate performance quickly: • Business analysts and report authors building executive dashboards, scorecards and KPI walls. • Operations, sales, finance and project teams tracking targets, SLAs, budgets, risk levels or maturity scores against thresholds. • BI developers who want a polished, certified visual with selection, cross-filtering, drill-through, tooltips, keyboard navigation and high-contrast support out of the box. • Executives and decision-makers who need to grasp status in a second, without reading numbers. THE NEED IT ADDRESSES (THE PAIN) Numbers alone don't communicate urgency. A table of values or a plain KPI card forces every viewer to interpret whether a result is good, acceptable or critical — and thresholds differ by team, product, region or period. Standard gauges are generic, hard to read at small sizes, and rarely map cleanly to the specific bands your business uses. Stoplight Range solves this by turning your own thresholds into an instantly recognizable traffic light. A green-to-red progression (or any palette you configure) tells the whole story at a glance, so meetings move faster and problems surface immediately. Because the ranges are fully user-defined and support conditional formatting, the same visual adapts to every KPI — targets, compliance, health scores, inventory levels, deadlines — without custom code. INTERACTIVITY AND TRUST • Selection and cross-filtering, with an optional Category field to anchor the identity to an entity (for precise filter in/out and right-click drill-through to detail pages). • Highlight support — reflects the filtered subset when another visual cross-filters. • Native Power BI tooltips and context menu. ACCESSIBILITY AND CERTIFICATION-READINESS • Full keyboard operation and screen-reader labels. • High-contrast theme support. • No external resources and no network calls — everything renders locally, in line with Microsoft's certification requirements.
