A doughnut chart is similar to a pie chart in that it shows the relationship of parts to a whole. The only difference is that the center is blank and allows space for a label or icon.

Create a doughnut chart

  1. Start on a blank report page and from the Fields pane, select Sales > Last Year Sales.

    Visualization pane with doughnut selected.

    Doughnut next to Fields pane.

  4. Optionally, adjust the size and color of the chart's text.

Considerations and troubleshooting

  • The sum of the doughnut chart values must add up to 100%.
  • Too many categories make it difficult to read and interpret.
  • Doughnut charts are best used to compare a particular section to the whole, rather than comparing individual sections with each other.
