The VP of Sales at Cloud Kicks would like a graphic on the company performance dashboard to display the total current pipeline against the goal for the year. Which type of component should be used…

A Table component displays data in rows and columns, suitable for detailed lists but not for a high-level visual comparison against a single goal.

A Stacked Bar chart is used to compare multiple categories or segments within a whole, not ideal for showing a single value against a target.

A Gauge component in Salesforce Dashboards is specifically designed to display a single key performance indicator (KPI), like the total current pipeline, in relation to a target or goal. It visually shows progress towards the goal, typically with color-coded ranges indicating performance.

A Metric component displays a single number, but a Gauge provides the added visual context of progress against a target with color coding, which is more suitable for comparing pipeline against a goal.
