Excel Speedometer/Gauge

[rniculae]

Hello guys,

I have searched the forum but i cannot find something similar to my actual problem.
I tried to make a classic speedometer with doughnut and pie chart and it does not work properly (ex. my value is 80 and the needle is somewhere else totally)

I use excel 2013.

The speedometer should only be between those values
I will list my values below as well my thresholds for the chart.

C/R	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	Values	Red	Light red	Yellow	Light Yellow	Green	Light Green
2	53% <tbody> </tbody>	30%	40%	50%	60%	70%	80%
3	87% <tbody> </tbody>	76%	80%	84%	88%	92%	96%
4	36% <tbody> </tbody>	50%	40%	30%	20%	15%	10%

<tbody>
</tbody>

Can you guys please help me out? I am stressed out for the last 3 weeks. Tried everything and i cannot figure it out.

Thank you very much,
Razvan

Hiker, i have already searched this forum, no post will actually solve my issue because i have 6 ranges and i don't need it from 0-100. If i try to modify it, it will not work anymore and my value will be shown somewhere else than where it supposed to be. It's not scaling correctly.
Chandoo's tutorial works for 3 areas only and with values summed to 100.

Thank you

Did you try searching the internets for speedo charts that have many colours? See here: Excel Professor: Speedometer Chart / Gas Gauge Chart

I think maybe your problem is arising because you haven't converted your percentages to portions of 180 degrees. Using the data you provided and the guidance from the link I provided, this should be your dataset.

	A	B	C	D	E
1	Percentage	Degrees	Dial Colours	needle
2	0%	0	180	180	100% share
3	30%	54	54	179	100
4	40%	72	18	3
5	50%	90	18	-2
6	60%	108	18
7	70%	126	18
8	80%	144	18
9	100%	180	36
