Five star rating

[pradeepbi25]

Hi

I have a data item which gives singleton value from 0 to 5 i.e., a five star rating.
ex: 4.85 , 4.35, 3.75

Now I need to convert these values to five star rating graph.
For example, if I get 4.5 from my data item I need to display 4 stars and one half star.

Hi - I don't know if this meets your requirement, but if it was me I'd round the value to the nearest half star so that you end up with ten possible outcomes. Then create those ten images and display the right one depending on the value of your measure.

If you don't do it that way you're going to have to find a way to partially fill a star...what woud you display for a score of 4.63 for example?

Hi Thanks for your reply.
For 4.63 I need to display 4 stars and one star with 60% filled.
I cannot round it to 4.5 or 5.

Maybe RAVE visualizations are the way to go. There are pre-defined ones on analytics zone or you can create your own. I haven't worked with this yet, but perhaps this points you in the right direction. I can't think of another way beyond the approach BigChris offered.

So create nine images for 0.1 - 0.9 stars. Work out how many whole stars to display and display the right partial star next to it.
