What are different chart types available for Dashboards?

Hello Anurag,

Different Salesforce Dashboard Components are Charts, Gauges, Tables, Metrics and Visualforce Pages.

Chart:- In Chart component, Report data is displayed in different chart types like Horizontal bar chart, vertical bar chart, line chart, pie chart, Donut chart and Funnel Chart.

Gauge:- In gauge component, the data show how far you are from reaching a goal. Gauge component types may be used to show a single value that is to be shown as a part of a range of custom set values. Here the ranges that can be set can represent, say, low, medium, and high values, and the value from the report plotted accordingly.

Metric:- Metric component types may be used to show a single value to display.

Table:– Table component types may be used to show a set of report data in column form.

Visualforce page:- In addition to the standard types, Visualforce page component types may be used to create a custom component type and present information in a way not available in the standard dashboard component types.

Thanks.

Hi,

Here is the different chart types available for Dashboards:
You can show data in reports and dashboards in the form of bars, columns, lines, shapes, or other elements. Which is right depends on what the data is about and what you want to show with it.

Bar Charts
A bar chart shows values as horizontal lengths, so this format can be good for comparing distance or time. Use a bar chart when you have a summary report with a single grouping, or you only want to display one grouping.
Column Charts
A column chart is very much like a bar chart, but it can be a better format for showing relative counts of things, such as leads or dollars. Use a column chart when you have a summary report with a single grouping, or you only want to display one grouping.
Line Charts
Line charts are good for showing changes in the value of an item over a series of points in time, such as week to week or quarter to quarter. Use a line chart when you have one important grouping representing an ordered set of data and one value to show.
Pie Charts
Use a pie chart when you have multiple groupings and want to show the proportion of a single value for each grouping against the total.
Donut Charts
Use a donut chart when you have multiple groupings and want to show not only the proportion of a single value for each grouping against the total, but also the total amount itself.
Funnel Charts
Use a funnel chart when you have multiple groupings in an ordered set and want to show the proportions among them.
Scatter Charts
Use scatter charts to show meaningful information using one or two groups of report data plus summaries.

Hope this helps you.
