Visualisation to show progress vs target

Configuration
1

Hi - I would like to have a simple chart to show how many miles I’ve driven in my car vs how many miles in my ontract hire allowance. i.e 10,000 mile allowance over 4 years = 40,000 miles in total. If I was 2 years into my contract I want the chart to show 20,000 miles as my target mileage, but also show my actual mileage so I can see if i’m over or under the target.

I have a sensor entity which gives my actual mileage but I dont know how to get the target number into a chart. I’m guessing I need to divide the 40,000 miles by 1460 days (4 years) = 27.39miles per day then somehow increment this number each day from a set start date ?

Any help would be appreciated - especially if it is a dummies guide . . .

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Couldn´t you just create a counter (in “Helpers”) where the start value is the current milage and the step value is the 27.39 miles.

Then you can use this in an automation that runs each day calling the increment counter service.

Thanks for this - All working now
I’ve never used helpers before. This has got my cogs turning . . . .
