What is threshold-based visualization?

< 1 min read

Threshold-based visualization highlights data based on predefined limits or targets.
It visually indicates whether a metric is above, below, or within acceptable range.
This is usually implemented using conditional formatting.
In one project, sales below 80% of target were highlighted in red.
Values between 80–100% were amber, and above target were green.
It helps users quickly identify risks or performance gaps.
Thresholds are typically aligned with business KPIs.
This approach improves focus on exceptions and action areas.
