<!-- Greeting --> Hi @fifi1905! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> In Superset's Bullet Chart, the Markers field is currently designed to accept only static numeric values—you can't reference a measure or metric directly in this field. This is a known limitation and has been discussed by other users as well: both the achievement (measure) and the target (marker) should ideally be dynamic, but at the moment, only the measure can be set dynamically, while the marker (target) must be entered manually as a number. There is no UI option to select a metric or column for Markers, and typing a measure name will not work. You can see more about this limitation in this discussion: [Superset Discussion #28647](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/28647). If your targets are dynamic, a common workaround is to preprocess your data outside Superset (for example, in your database or ETL pipeline) so that your achievement and target are both available as columns or calculated values. Then, you can use the achievement as the measure and manually enter the target value in the Markers field. If you need fully dynamic targets, you may want to follow Superset updates or feature requests for future support, as this is a frequently requested enhancement. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
