Card with target candlesticks

In this visualization, the card is green if the KPI at or beating target and red if not.

Setup

This markdown in this example complex and references a lot of calculations to position and style elements. Use this sample dataset, instructions, and code to recreate this example in your own instance.

Download the sample CSV.
Upload the sample CSV to your instance. Refer to the Data input tables guide for instructions.
In a new query tab, select all fields except Candlesticks Count.
Format the fields as follows:
- Currency - Total Sales and Target Sales
- Percent - Progress Bar Value, Progress Bar Target, From Target, Candle Value, Candle Target, Change Py, and Change Pm
Format Created At Month to the month abbreviation with 2 digits for the year.
Sort the query so the most recent month in the data set, Feb 25, is first.

Your query should look like this:

You can now click Chart and select the Markdown chart type. Copy and paste the sample code below into the markdown editor. Note: To recreate this with your own data set, you’ll need a to create your own calculations for most fields. The formulas below refer to the column positions in the screenshot above:

Col	Name	Calculation formula	Purpose
D	Progress Bar Range	=MAX(B1, C1)	Denominator for the progress bar
E	Progress Bar Value	=B1 / D1	% fill for the progress bar
F	Progress Bar Target	=C1 / D1	% position for the target mark
G	Delta From Target	=B1 - C1	value change from target
H	% From Target	=G1 / C1	% change from target (used in up/down arrows )
I	Delta Direction	=IF(G1 >= 0, “pos”, “neg”)	class name used to color the card header, progress bars and candle dots
J	12mo Min	=MIN(B:C)	smallest of all the Total Sales and Target values
K	12mo Max	=MAX(B:C)	largest of all the Total Sales and Target values
L	12mo Range	=K1 - J1	the denominator for all the candle position calculations
M	Candle Value	=(B1 - J1) / L1	% fill for each candle
N	Candle Target	=(C1 - J1) / L1	% position for each candle target mark
O	% Change Py	=(B1 - B13) / B13	% change from previous year (used in up/down arrows)
P	Py Direction	=IF(O1 >= 0, “pos”, “neg”)	class name used to point previous year change arrow up or down
Q	% Change Pm	=(B1 - B2) / B2	% change from previous month (used in up/down arrows)
R	Pm Direction	=IF(Q1 >= 0, “pos”, “neg”)	class name used to point previous month change arrow up or down
