Compare Progress Toward Goals with Radial Bar Charts

Visualize how close each entity is to reaching its goal in a compact circular layout with a Tableau Next radial bar chart. The chart's common scale makes it easy to compare relative performance and quickly identify leaders and areas that need attention. For example, review quota attainment by sales representatives to identify the top performers against their annual sales goals.
