This tutorial will demonstrate how we can create multiple KPI Donut charts using Tableau. Let’s have a quick introduction of a Donut chart . A Donut chart is simply a Pie chart with an area of the centre cut out.
A Donut chart is very useful in showing the portion of categorical data, with the size of each segment representing the portion of each category. These charts are also reader-friendly and quite easy for non-professionals to understand.
Before we move into how we can create KPI Donut charts, let’s look at the various benefits of using this chart.
Benefits of using Donut Chart in your Project
- The Donut chart is a modified pie chart because it eliminates the need to compare the area or size of the slice.
- With this chart, we can display multiple data sets.
- Users can place additional information about data labels in the hole of the Donut chart, unlike the pie chart.
- Donut charts also make it easier for users to compare individual dimensions.
- Donut charts are also used to display a standalone KPI (Key Performance Indicator), as they are easy to understand.
- They are also used in business to determine progress.
