Configure the LED Gauge
1. If needed, select the Series column for the gauge and change the Gauge Type to LED.
2. Define the scale and color range for this gauge in the Color Range.
The scale defaults to 0-100, or a maximum close to the maximum value for this column and a single color for the entire range.
Gauge scales can be any range of contiguous numbers, negative or positive and can use integers or decimals as needed. The scale must have at least the lowest and highest numbers that you want to show.
You define the number of colors that appear in the scale by how many intermediate numbers you include in the scale. With no intermediate numbers, the scale is one color. Add an intermediate number to change the scale color at that point.
You can add numbers or remove numbers from the scale.
To add a new number to the scale, enter a number and click
Add Value.
To remove a number, click on the number in the scale.
3. Use the Chart Orientation property to choose the direction for this scale.
4. Enter the title for this specific gauge as the Title.
5. If needed, add a prefix or suffix for all numeric labels for this gauge or chart.
Common examples might be $ as the prefix or % as suffix.
6. Use Customize View, if needed, to change the colors shown in the gauge or update other visual properties to get the exact appearance you want.
To change the colors shown in the gauge:
a. Click Show Advanced Options.
b. Expand the Advanced Properties section.
c. In Color Range Palette, click inside the color cell (white by default) to pick the first (or next) color for the dial.
d. Choose the color you want from the color picker and click Set Color. The color cell now shows the color you selected.
e. Click Add Color to add this color to the list of colors used in the dial
f. Add a color for each range of numbers you defined for the dial.
If needed, simply click on a color in the list to delete that color.
7. Preview the gauge, as needed.
