Introduction
This article looks at the progress chart data object in Astrato.
A Progress Chart data object displays chart data referenced against a defined value, or target, demonstrating the "progress" towards reaching the target. Figure 1 shows a progress chart being added to a workbook.

Progress Chart Types
Astrato already supports multiple progress chart types, with plans to add more chart types in the future (these are the greyed out icons in the toolbar). Progress charts in Astrato can be created using one measure, one (or two) dimensions, and one target (the reference point for measuring progress (Table 1). You can choose to display data using a Gauge format (a circle or arc) or Bars.
