Tm Visualization Suite: Variance & Targets

Are we on plan, and where do we miss the target?

Bullet chart of actual, target, plan and range for eight items, with the bar reaching the target for some items.View full size
Actual against target for every item, with the accepted range

Version 2.1.6 · released 2026-11-03

Compare actual to plan and target for every item, and see who is ahead, who is behind and by how much.

What it does

Tm Visualization Suite: Variance & Targets compares actual with plan and target on one Qlik sheet object. A bullet chart shows each item against its range, a waterfall shows how the pieces add up to the total, variance bars show the gap to plan, a target band tracks a value over time and a pace chart shows whether the cumulative total will reach the final target.

Click an item to select the data behind it, and the rest of the sheet follows. The charts read your data and never change it. Items without a valid range are listed in a note under the chart.

Analysts and BI leads who report actual against plan and target in finance and operations.

Good for

  • Which items miss their target this cycle?
  • How did actual change against plan, item by item?
  • Are we on pace to reach the year-end target?

Key features

  1. Waterfall chart from an opening value of 605 to a closing value of 620 with increases and decreases per item.

    See how the pieces add up

    A waterfall starts at the opening value and adds each increase and decrease, so you see what moved the total.

  2. Bars of actual minus plan per item, with increases to the right and decreases to the left of zero.

    Show the gap to plan for each item

    Variance bars grow right for ahead of plan and left for behind, so the biggest misses are easy to find.

  3. Line of monthly actual values with a shaded accepted range and a dashed target line.

    Track a value against its accepted range

    A target band draws the value over time inside a shaded range, so a month outside it stands out.

  4. Cumulative actual and plan lines over a fiscal year, heading toward a final target.

    Check if you are on pace for the year

    A pace chart compares the cumulative actual with the cumulative plan and the final target.
