Can I edit the resulting visual?

Yes. It is made of ordinary Excel objects, so colors, text and size are all freely adjustable.

Yes. It works off your data, so when the source cells change, so does the visual.

Is my source table modified?

No. The tool only reads your data; the only addition to the sheet is the visual itself.

Can I try another look on the same data?

Yes. Just reopen the gallery and pick a different template; the earlier visual remains on the sheet.

Create a Bullet Chart in Excel

In short: Actual versus target on qualitative bands. You pick the template from the gallery and map its fields to your cells; the visual stays bound to the data, updates when it changes, and remains freely editable. The source table is untouched.

What it shows

Compares an actual value against a target and qualitative bands (poor, average, good) compactly.

When to use it

It earns its place whenever you have to stacking several metrics against their targets in a narrow space.

Example scenarios

Stacking several metrics against their targets in a narrow space.
Analysts: compares an actual value against a target and qualitative bands (poor, average, good) compactly.

What it needs

One column with the actual values and one with the target values. You can optionally add the category labels, the low values and the high values.

How to use it

Select the data range or table you want to visualize.
Open the Charts (Visualizations menu) gallery from the XLMind Plus tab.
Pick the Bullet Chart template and map its fields to your cells.
The visual is inserted bound to your data; it refreshes as the cells change.

What it produces

A live SVG chart shape (auto-refresh and edit).

Effect on your data and undo

Bullet Chart does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. It refreshes automatically when the linked cells change. If it is not what you wanted, Undo Last restores the previous state.

How it differs from similar tools

It creates this chart type without helper columns, tricks or macros; the result stays bound to your data and remains hand-editable.

Good to know

Bindings must match the chart's expected shape; auto-refreshes on source change. Requires the listed data fields (actual, target).

Limitations

Requires the listed data fields.
