Progress bar - Show percentage of goal reached

Open Startouf opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, a progress bar allows you to configure a single goal, and it is naturally used with the absolute value of some quantity. (like 30k registered users on some goal of 133k users)

If one wants to display the % of progression, an alternative is to create a custom field being the result of the computed/aggregated field divided by the goal, like registered_users_normalized = registered_users / 133k)

But even so, it won't be possible to show on the same graph, both the absolute values (30k, 133k) and the % progress (22.5%)

Describe the solution you'd like A configuration to display, on the progress gauge, the resulting percentage (including values above 100%). It can be located anywhere on the graph, there is a LOT of unused space on progress bars visualizations so it should not b a problem.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Adding a second graph with the % (based on the same question with a custom field with a division of the figure by the goal to make a percentage). Consumes too much space

How important is this feature to you? It is a pain to manually compute the resulting percentage, when it has to be done on many graphs for reporting
