Donut Charts are a very visually-appealing chart type, used to show part-to-whole relationships. They’re simple and effective, and are a great tool to add to your dashboarding arsenal. While they’re not a built-in chart type in Tableau (unlike a bar chart, pie chart, or line graph), we can build them with a few extra steps!
All we need to do to start building some awesome donut charts is to work out the percent of total for the measure you’re working with, and then calculating the remainder percentage. After that, we’re all good to go!
I’ll walk you through how to do it in this week’s video!
And if you’re interested in leveling up your Tableau calculations skills so you can build awesome charts like this, why not come along to our Mastering Tableau Calculations Course from February 8-9? There isn’t another course out there to get you comfortable with Tableau Functions like this one! We’d love to see you there.
You can access and download the Tableau Workbook from the video here.
