There are three ways to set the size of the Gauge.

Check the box ‘Fit to Cell’.
Note: Angular gauges have a minimum width of 120px.
Data

Use the Data Values dropdown to select the cell that contains the numeric value for the Gauge.
Use the ‘Provide range as’ buttons to specify if the Min and Max values for the Gauge should be static numbers or come from cells on the report.
In Color Ranges, use the ‘Color By’ buttons to specify if color ranges should be percentages of the Max value, static numbers, or come from cells on the report.
