Jon Peltier Speedometer Chart

Hi

I am trying to set up the speedometer chart from http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Speedometer.html.

I have made the donut chart and also the scatter diagram for the needles. Unfortunately my needles are too big for the chart meaning that stick out at the top of the donut chart.

What determines the length of the needle? How can I change this? I am also having difficulty adding the series labels. Does anyone have a completed graph that I could amend?

TIA

Jon Peltier's Speedometer chart is an amazing feat of charting. I have a version I use in my job that includes a modification to automatically adjust the chart rotation for proper alignment. It's moderately documented. Blue text indicates input items.

Feel free to amend it to suit your needs.

Regards,
Ron

Thanks Ron, great workbook.

I'm a bit stumped Ron. I clicked on your link above and it opens a web
page with an error message: Invalid Attachment specified. I tried two
different browsers as a sanity check.

No problem. I plug in the name of your file into the search bar on that
page and it also croaks iwth "0 results found".

Yet apparently Thoemmes could get it without problem.

Is there something obscure going on here, or am I just incredibly dense?

Thanks....

First, a little background:
That thread originated on the ExcelTip forum (which recently began periodic
interfaces with this forum). For that reason I posted my reply there, plus
it's easier to work with and accepts attachements. However, for some reason
the links don't carry over to this forum properly.

The answer you want:
If you look at the bottom of my post, there should be a "view this thread"
link. Click on that to go to the ExcelTip forum. The link to my file on that
site works fine.

If you don't see the link, though. Here it is:

That doesn't quite work either Ron, though I don't know if it's a
temporary problem or something more insideous. It gives the error:

Sorry, Bill. Evidently, the ExcelTip forum has been down for a while. It
will eventually be back up.
