Which indicator is used to represent a ratio in Qlik Sense?

In Qlik Sense, a gauge is specifically designed to visually represent key performance indicators (KPIs), including ratios. This type of visualization allows users to easily see how a particular metric compares to a target or benchmark by displaying the value against a defined scale. A gauge typically uses a dial format, showcasing progress toward a goal or the status of a ratio in an intuitive way.

Gauges stand out in their ability to provide a clear and immediate understanding of performance metrics at a glance, which is particularly useful for decision-making in business contexts. While other visualizations like bar charts, scatter plots, and pie charts convey data effectively, they are less suited for representing a single ratio or KPI in the straightforward way that a gauge does. For instance, bar charts are typically employed to compare multiple categories, scatter plots illustrate relationships between two variables, and pie charts demonstrate parts of a whole. Each of these has its own strengths but lacks the focused clarity that a gauge provides for ratios.
