Why each option
The Gauge dashboard component is designed to display a single metric value and its progress toward a defined target or goal.
A Table component displays multiple rows and columns of data, which is not suited for communicating a single value and its proximity to a goal.
A Stacked Bar component compares multiple grouped values across categories and does not convey progress toward a single numeric goal.
A Donut component shows proportional segments of a whole and is better suited for part-to-whole comparisons, not for displaying a value against a linear target.
The Gauge component displays a single numeric value on a dial that visually shows where that value falls relative to defined range breakpoints and a maximum goal, making it the ideal component for showing total annual sales and proximity to an enterprise sales target in one view.
