Advanced Charting : Donut Chart

Hi All,

In this blog I would talk about creating Donut chart in tableau step by step ,

Step 1: Import the excel file in Tableau . The format of the excel file is as under. The excel has three columns :  Category, Sales and the year for sales .

Step 2: In  the worksheet tab of tableau , create two measures 0, 0(1)

Step 3 : Bring the measures 0 and 0(1) in the Rows shelf and select dual axis for SUM(0)

Step 4 : Go the All under the marks card and remove the measure name from the colour.

Step 5 : Under the marks card select SUM(0(1)) and select the chart as pie.

Step 4 : Bring Category to the colour .

Step 5 : Increase the size of the chart.

Step 6 : Add Sales to Angle.

Step 7: Place the Sales measure on the Label and add a quick table calculation as % of Total.

Step 8 : Select  SUM(0) under the marks card .

Step 9 : Change the colour to white.

Step 10 : Decrease the size of the circle to get the Donut Chart.

Format the colours and the size of the chart to your desired choice to get the final Donut.
