    Visualization builds a Bullet Chart within the context of distribution ranges and reference lines. The state forms the Y-axis, and Actual profit forms the X-axis. Visualization moves the Profit target to the Break Deck. By default, Visualization plots a reference line. It places a line at the average value along the axis and shades between 60% and 80% goal completion. The reference line helps you to see how each state performed against the average. Image Modified
