Using Donut Charts

Use donut charts to compare values for items in a dimension. The best use for this type of chart is to show a percentage of a total amount.

Each wedge in a donut chart shows one value in a dimension. The wedge size is proportional to the quantity that it represents.

To create a donut chart, use one dimension in the Group/Color field well. With only one field, the chart displays the division of values by row count. To display the division of dimension values by a metric value, you can add a metric field to the Value field well.

Donut charts show up to 20 data points for group or color.

Click , the Dashboards tab.
Click Dashboard Designer, in the bottom-left corner.
On the Analyses dialog, click New analysis or click , the Options button, next to an existing analysis and select Edit.
