Codex Bullet Chart

A Stephen Few bullet chart for Power BI — actual vs target with qualitative range bands, horizontal or vertical orientation, ideal for performance dashboards where you need to see whether a metric is on track at a glance. The bullet chart was designed to replace gauges and dials on dashboards. It packs a lot of information into a small footprint: actual value, target marker, and qualitative bands (poor / satisfactory / good) all in one row. IDEAL FOR • Sales performance vs quota • Operational KPIs with target thresholds • Service level dashboards (SLA performance vs band) • Multi-metric comparison pages where space is at a premium • Replacing speedometer gauges with a more honest, more compact alternative KEY FEATURES • Horizontal or vertical orientation • Configurable qualitative range bands (poor / satisfactory / good colours) • Target marker overlay • Full font controls on labels and value • Hover tooltip showing actual, target, and band thresholds • Click to cross-filter other visuals • Minimal modern design — no chart junk • High contrast mode and keyboard navigation support PRO TIP Use a single shared measure for the band thresholds across all bullet charts on a page, so the qualitative scale stays consistent. Put the target as a separate measure so analysts can scenario-test by adjusting it. Built by Nexus Codex. Part of a growing collection of premium Power BI visuals designed for serious dashboards.
