Formatting the pointer
To finish off, shrink the row that the bullet graph is embedded in, and run the

rePorT FormATTIng
There are many things that you should do to this report to aid readability—
modify color choice, change the numbers on the scale to be legible, use
tick marks instead of numbers, or change the borders on the bullet graphs.
These formatting modifications would all be additional to the basics of
building a bullet chart. Also, instead of just purely ordering alphabetically,
ordering by region would enable much better comparisons.
