Bullet Graph Settings – Color Ranges

Option

Description

Show color ranges

Select this check box if you want to display qualitative color ranges in the bullet graph. When the check box is selected, the controls in the lower part of the dialog becomes enabled.

Add

Click to add a new color range.

Note: Before you have added any color ranges, the dialog will only show one color selector with a text field next to it because no limits have been defined yet. In the bullet graph visualization only one color will be displayed at this point, ranging from the lowest value on the scale to the highest value. As soon as you click the Add button, a column selector will appear below the color selector and the text field, and below the column selector another color selector with text field will appear. For each new color range you add, a new set of these three controls (column selector, color selector, and text field) are added below the last color range in the list.

Current ranges and their limits

Lists all the currently added color ranges.

[Color selector]

Optionally, you can enter a name for the color range. The name of the color range can be displayed in the tooltip.

[Column selector]

Select a column, or enter an expression, that you want to use as the limit between the color range segments.

Tip: If you want to use a specific value or percentage, see below.

Note: The first color range in the list of Current ranges and their limits will automatically start from the lowest value on the bullet graph scale and range to the first limit. And likewise, the last color range in the list will automatically range to the highest value on the scale.

[Remove button]

Click to remove a color range.

Note: This will remove the column selector to the left of the button from the dialog, as well as the color selector and text field directly below the column selector.
