What are some alternative methods to thermometer charts for visualizing the comparison between actual and target revenue?

Some alternative methods to thermometer charts for visualizing the comparison between actual and target revenue include bullet charts, bar charts, and line graphs. Bullet charts are particularly useful as they can display multiple measures at once, including the target value and actual value. Bar charts can also be used to compare actual and target revenue by representing each as a separate bar. Line graphs can show trends over time, which can be useful for tracking revenue targets.

Question was asked on:

The thermometer charts in this spreadsheet template function similarly to the bullet charts, where actual revenue and target revenue can be compared to find the percent completed, and how much the actual revenue is over or under by, with customizable thresholds to highlight bad, to average, to target performance.
