Transition Dumbbell
Visualize before-and-after comparisons for multiple entities with colored direction indicators. Each entity shows a "from" and "to" value connected by a bar, with green/red coloring to indicate positive or negative change. Ideal for year-over-year comparisons, goal tracking, and impact analysis.
Examples
When to Use
- Comparing metrics before and after an intervention or time period
- Year-over-year revenue, cost, or performance changes by region or department
- Goal vs. actual tracking across multiple categories
- Visualizing the magnitude and direction of change simultaneously

- Use the Order field to control entity sort order instead of relying on data order
- Enable "Show Change Overlay" to display delta values directly on the connecting bar
