How to create a Dial (gauge) Graph and Dashboard in Access?

[Setare]

Hi -

I am currently using Access 2010 and have created several pie, line and column charts. However, I am looking into finding a way to create a dashboard (not a Main Menu or switchboard) in Access. It looks like I can't create a dial in Access 2010 using a doughnut chart. Although I was able to create one in Excel 2010. If I upgrade to Access 2019, will I be able to create a dial chart (speedometer) and a dashboard there?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations,
Setare

No. Neither are built in options so you would have to create your own

Thank you very much for your quick response. Have you used or heard of the 3rd party software, "Dashboard Builder" for Access?

Thanks,

Speedometer Dashboard

Hi All, I am wanting to add a dashboard form with multiple speedometers to display progress and project health. Is there an example that someone could share with me. Cheers Mick

a static dashboard with report.

Yes that was my suggestion in the original post, to do it this way. I just did not feel like drawing those.

The better option is to use a set of images and store them in the database. I think you could make it look nicer and would give you more options for use. This could actually allow you to have progress bars in a continuous form
