# Bullet Charts

Bullet charts are perfect for comparing metrics against quantitative benchmarks and references, like current revenue with target revenue.

## Create a Bullet Chart

Measure current revenue against target revenue and compare it with last quarter's revenue with a bullet chart.

You've got a dataset with opportunity information. From that dataset, you can measure current revenue by finding the sum of the amount field. With a bullet chart, you can then measure current revenue against qualitative values, like target revenue.

The background bar represents target revenue, divided into three sections that represent qualitative performance: red for bad, yellow for good, and green for great. The black bar (also known as a bullet) shows the current revenue. The blue reference line marks last quarter's revenue.

1. In the lens, click ![Chart Mode button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_chart_mode_button.png) and then select the **Bullet** chart type.
2. In the Value field, add the measure that you want to analyze, like sum of amount.
3. To customize the bullet chart, click ![Formatting button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_button_formatting.png) and set the chart properties in the Formatting panel.
    
    In this current revenue by target revenue example, set a target revenue, band colors, and a reference line.
    
    First, set target revenue. Expand **Range Values** and set **Max** to your target revenue. For example, $300,000,000.00.
    
    Let's make the bar and bullet a bit bigger. Expand **Bullet** and set **Range weight** to 200 and **Bar weight** to 40.
    
    To add last quarter's revenue, click **\+ Reference Line**, set value to last quarter's revenue (for example, $190,000,000.00), and set **Label** to Last Quarter.
    
    Set bins in Conditional Formatting to create band colors on the background bar to create bands that represent qualitative performance: red for bad, yellow for good, and green for great. The black bar (also known as a bullet) shows the current revenue.
    
    The bullet chart now makes it easy to see current revenue against target revenue.
