Can you provide real-world examples of how the Gauge chart has been used in business strategy?

Some alternative methods to the Gauge chart for analyzing complex data distributions include Histograms, Box Plots, Scatter Plots, and Heat Maps. Histograms are useful for visualizing the distribution of data over a continuous interval. Box Plots provide a summary of the data distribution including the median, quartiles, and potential outliers. Scatter Plots are great for visualizing the relationship between two variables. Heat Maps can be used to represent complex data with variations in color in two dimensions.

The Gauge chart can be utilized in global companies like Apple or Google to track their performance by defining categories relevant to their business metrics. The "Sum of Value" display can be used to compare a category's performance relative to others, while the "Goal" can be used to compare performance against a specific target. Custom names can be given to each gauge section and the percentage of the gauge said section should include, providing a visual representation of performance metrics.
