📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

Thanks, that's really helpful.

Just an idea I use in our Power BI Gauges to set the max value of the Gauge to a measure as well to avoid the empty space, using the code below (just swap for your specific actuals and target values).

End Value =
SWITCH(
TRUE()
, [Value for Actual]>=[Value for Target], [Value for Actual]
, [Value for Target]
)

Thank you for this good presentation, tell me if I want to do a visuals who tell me I have under the target ou have more than target what visual I have to take? I want to have also the possibility to have the possibility with this visual to have more visual by category without I copy and paste and filter these visuals. Thank you by advance about your next answer.

I'm having troubles selecting the measure/calculation "Gauge Colour" when trying in "Conditional formatting" --> "Field Values". It does not respond and the field is red like before you try entering your measure/calculation. Do you know why?
