Doughnut Chart

A Doughnut Chart represents values as proportional segments of a ring. The hollow center distinguishes it from a Pie Chart while retaining the same part-to-whole comparison.

Doughnut Chart

Configuring Data

Configure the Doughnut Chart in the ASSIGN DATA tab. At least one field is required in Values.

Data section Requirement Description
Values Required Accepts one or more measures or numeric expressions. Each value is aggregated and determines the size of a segment.
Columns Optional Accepts one or more dimensions that divide the values into categorized segments. Multiple fields create a drill-down hierarchy.
Row Optional Accepts one dimension and creates a separate Doughnut Chart for each distinct value.
Hidden Column Optional Accepts measures or dimensions used for filtering, linking, or underlying data without displaying them.
Filters Optional Accepts measures or dimensions and applies additional filtering conditions.
Tooltip Optional Accepts one or more measures shown as supplementary tooltip values.

Assigning Data

  1. Drag the Doughnut Chart from the toolbox onto the design canvas.
  2. Select the chart, click the Settings icon, and open the ASSIGN DATA tab.
  3. Add a measure or numeric expression to Values.
  4. Optionally, add dimensions to Columns for categorized segments and drill down.
  5. Optionally, add a dimension to Row to create multiple charts.
  6. Add fields to Hidden Column, Filters, or Tooltip as needed.

Without a Columns field, the configured Values fields form the segments. With a Columns field, the chart groups each measure by the distinct dimension values.

Settings menu

Click the More options icon for an assigned field to access Rename, Aggregation type, Sort, Filter(s), and Format, when supported. See Aggregating Value Columns, Advanced Sorting, Configuring Widget Filters, and Formatting Measure Type Column.

Drill Down

Widgets that support hierarchies enable drill-down when multiple dimension fields are assigned to the hierarchy data section. Select a data point to move to the next level, and use the widget breadcrumb to return to a previous level.
