#WOW2026 | Week 12 | Create a Gauge Chart with Tableau Extensions

/ Tableau, Workout Wednesday / By

Introduction

I was recently looking into the Radial Viz Extension after Sunburst support was added in Tableau 2025.3, and realized it can also create gauge charts with ease. Turns out this has actually been possible since the Radial Extension first launched in 2024.2!

Building gauge charts in Tableau used to require map layers and dedicated data preparation, which made them quite tricky. With the Radial Extension, it’s much simpler. I thought that was worth sharing as a WOW challenge. Even if you haven’t worked with Extensions before, this is a great one to get started with. Give it a try!
