Show one measure's progress toward a target as a ring. Use it for a completion or achievement question with a meaningful denominator. Use Gauge when readers also need a scale with tick values.

Set actual and target

1. Add Components → Charts → Cards & KPI → Ring progress (a new ring is 260 × 240 px, one ring and a name line) and choose an Analysis model in Data.
2. Put the actual amount in Progress measure and the target in Target measure.
3. If you use a fixed target instead of a target measure, enter it in Style → Plot area → Target value.
4. Set Filters so actual and target cover the same period and population.

For example, 75 completed items against a target of 100 represents 75% achievement. A decimal rate of 0.75 must be compared with a target of 1, not 100. Avoid a zero target: a meaningful progress percentage needs a valid denominator.

The automatic title names only the Progress measure, not the target.

Make the meaning visible

Option (Style)	Effect	Default
Plot area → Diameter	Size of the ring, 10–100%.	95%
Plot area → Ring thickness	Thickness of the ring, 1–30%.	10%
Plot area → Inner padding	Inner padding of the ring, as a percentage of the ring width (−50 to 100%).	0%
Plot area → Corner radius	Rounded ends of the progress ring.	Off
Plot area → Ring background	Color of the unfinished part of the ring.	#E0E0E0
Plot area → Target value	Fixed target, used when no Target measure is bound.	Empty
Plot area → Progress direction	Clockwise or Counterclockwise.	Clockwise
Data colors → Conditional color	Ring color by condition; see below.
Data labels → Label contents	Hidden, Value or Percentage in the center.	Percentage
Data labels → Percentage precision	Decimals of the percentage.	2
Data labels → Show name, Name, Name font	A name line under the value. If Name is empty, the Progress measure's name is shown.	Show name on for new rings; off in reports from earlier versions
Data labels → Sub-label, Sub-label font	Adds the Progress measure and/or the Target measure value, so readers can see the amounts behind the percentage.	None

Use a concise name such as Order completion. The ring has no Show Tooltip switch.

Conditional color opens a dialog where you choose the Configuration type, Value or Percentage, and add ranges with a Start value, an End value (blank means −∞ or +∞) and a Color. A percentage condition and a value condition are different: check the selected type and test the boundary values. Use conditional colors only when the thresholds have a clear meaning.

Above target, empty values and clicks

Above 100% the ring is simply full, so it cannot show how far a result exceeds the target. Read the numeric label, and show the amounts with Sub-label when that matters.

If the percentage is unexpected, check units, zero or missing targets and whether the target measure repeats at a finer grain.

When the actual value is empty, the ring shows the empty-data message instead of 0.00%, also with a fixed target. Style → Empty data only changes the text; see Empty data and error messages.

Clicking the ring does not filter, drill or highlight anything, but a script under Actions → Events → Plot area click runs.

Opening reports made before 10.00

• Ring background is now applied. Earlier versions drew the unfinished part in the palette's second color (often red), so such rings look different.
• A ring without an actual value shows the empty-data message instead of 0.00%.
• The automatic title no longer includes the target measure.
