Working with data in Bullet Chart Control

28 Jun 20242 minutes to read

Bullet Chart can visualize data bound from local or remote data.

Local data

You can bind a simple JSON data to the chart using DataSource direct property of the bullet-chart. Now, map the fields in JSON to ValueField and TargetField properties. The DataSource property accepts a collection of values as input that helps to display measures, and compares them to a target bar. To display the actual and target bar, specify the property from the datasource into the ValueField and TargetField respectively.
