In a gauge chart, i want to set colour showing 1 to 2.7 as red, 2.8 to 3.7 as yellow,3.8 to 5 as green.
The challenge is in display it lets you give min, max and < values. And that value is used to set the upper limit of red and lower limit of yellow, etc.
Can we do anything so that we get the values as desired ?

Hi
It’s not possible to achieve what you want with the existing widget. I’ve had similar requests from clients, they settled either for adding a note in the widget’s description or adding a text widget by the gauge to clarify.
Other than that, you’d have to create your own plugin or reach out to Qualtrics engineering services.

Set Min = 1
Set Max = 5
Set first threshold (“< value” for red → yellow) = 2.7
Set second threshold (“< value” for yellow → green) = 3.7
Qualtrics will automatically color:
1 to 2.7 = red
2.7 to 3.7 = yellow
3.7 to 5 = green
My challenge is that user gets confused when they see the tool tip : 2.7 not knowing if it is included in RED or YELLOW.
So we want to set it in such a way that 2.7 is shown in only RED and not in YELLOW tool tip.

try these ranges :
Min = 1
Max = 5
Red → Yellow threshold = 2.71 (instead of 2.7)
Yellow → Green threshold = 3.81 (instead of 3.8)
This will visually display the ranges as:
1 – 2.7 → Red
2.8 – 3.7 → Yellow
3.8 – 5 → Green
And the tooltip will now clearly show:
2.7 in Red
2.8 in Yellow
3.8 in Green
I had tried this earlier with multiple decimal places with no change.
