Learn how to create a stunning doughnut chart in Excel with this easy-to-follow video. Whether you're an Excel beginner or a seasoned user, you'll find valuable tips to enhance your charts.
⬇️ DOWNLOAD the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/progress-ci...
Two Unique Methods: Discover not one, but two methods to create doughnut charts with smooth, rounded edges. Both methods are explained in detail, ensuring you can follow along regardless of your Excel experience.
Step-by-Step Guide: The video walks you through the entire process, from setting up your data to fine-tuning the visual details of your chart.
You'll learn how to:
▪️ Input and prepare data for the chart
▪️ Insert and adjust a doughnut chart
▪️ Customize with colors and titles
▪️ Embed additional information within your chart
This Progress circle chart infographic is different to what you've seen before.
Just like the other progress circle charts it uses the doughnut chart as the basis. A text box is placed in the middle of the progress chart (I will show you an Excel chart trick to embed the text box inside the chart object). The value of the text box is connected to the percentage completed value which is input in a cell.

What makes this chart different to the rest?
It's a small design tweak that makes THIS progress circle chart look more professional. This chart comes with ROUNDED EDGES. This seems like a small tweak, but there isn't a simple option in Excel to get the inside shape have rounded edges. In this video you'll find two versions to create this Excel progress chart infographic with rounded edges (or the doughnut chart with rounded edges):
Version #1 (by me) - It requires a simple tweak to the border of the chart. This brings us halfway there but it doesn't give the professional look we're going after.
Version #2 (by Sam Dekoven): This version has perfectly rounded edges for the doughnut chart and it uses a smart technique which combines a scatter plot series with the doughnut chart (together with the SIN COS and PI Excel Functions). Many thanks to Sam for sharing his version with all of us!

I could live a thousand life times and I never would have come up with Sam's solution. I'll never use this method but it's cool knowing it exists. ;-)
It's always good to have something up your sleeve just in case :)
Agree. My poor brain was hurting
😂😂😂. I was thinking the same too
Yes, the great uncle Sam.. :)) very informative, not sure why I spent more than 10 minutes of my life on this and I'm still smiling (maybe thinking of how creative people can be)
Omg!! A big shout out to Sam 👏🏼👏🏼
👍
Your every single lecture is always awesome..!!! Especially Chart tutorial, is always wonderful.
Beautiful Charts, Leila!!! Thanks, Teammate!
Thank you Teammate Mike!
That's impressive use of cos and sin functions.
finally jeje
We are very much grateful Leila. God richly bless you
Hi Leila, I like yours for its simplicity and Sam’s for its aesthetic. In the end both are impactful to show progress. Thank you for sharing!
You are very welcome. Glad you like our little circle chart fun :)
We are celebrating teachers day today in India and I want to wish you happy teachers day as I had learned some great stuff in excel from you .. 👍🏻
Thank you very much! I feel special today :)
Mam.. plz make an elaborative tutorial on how to coustomize index on advanced level in Excel ...
It will be great support to everyone..
I tried this some months ago and it works great. It’s not really easy to change it afterwards so best to get your format in place the first time
Just wanted to let you know this post is amazing, and your library of topics makes you a genius in my non-mathematical mind :) And I echo many of the appreciative comments made below. Thanks much for your efforts!
I didnt understand the sin & cos function, but one thing I know is that I used this method of creating the doughnut chart at my work, and this changed my life.
Thank you Leila.
That was amazing both solutions, and sam's was simply...brilliant
Thank you for a very good and clear video. I appreciate that you have made the work available in Excel for downloading.
Sam is pretty GENIUS! Thanks Leila for sharing it.
It sure is :)
Your excel tutorials are my go to when I am stuck up. Thank you so much for guiding me in my quest for better excel knowledge. I already have taken up your VBA course in udemy. :) Once again Thank you so much.
That's great to hear! Thank you for your support.
Simply awesome. This adds flavor to visualizations in Excel like an infographic. 🤓
Well done, as always Leila. Keep 'em coming!
I'll try my best :)
Leila you are the best, and Sam's solution is so creative an innovative, thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
Your videos are always creative and innovative ☺👍
Hi Leila, A real beauty! Easy to understand and reproduce! Thank you :-)
Ms. Leila, having learnt a lot from your videos, I wish you a Happy TEACHERS Day, Thank you.
Thank you very much. I feel special today :)
Votre solution graphique donne à tous les tableaux de bord une touche brillante, c'est vraiment professionnel... Thumbs up !
Glad you like our little circle fun Reda :)
This tutorial really helps me very much, I've learned new ideas and knowledge by following the lesson. thank you.
You're very welcome!
I love 😍 excel because of you, your work is incredible thank you so much
That was very satisfying! Sam's method is gold...I would never have thought of that!
Thank you! Cheers!
Bless you for sharing these amazing excel tips.
I never thought of using pie charts for making circle progress indicators. I love this. Thanks!
Food for thought Luciano :)
I would never think of using sin and cos functions. This is great. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
Same here. Sam's version is genius!
Thanks Leila you always Queen of Excel
Second one is amazing...too good and professional version. Bang on
Beautiful Leila. Great charts too!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this, @Leila Gharani. Very nice! I am definitely going to use it 😊. Even though Mathematics was my favourite subject in school and I had loved the sine and cosine trigonometrical functions, I have never used them (are seen them used) in the real world (work) application - thanks, Sam.
Our pleasure :)
This is amazing, thank you for sharing both versions!
The first method gets the job done; the second method is simply brilliant!
Thanks to Leila , it solves my puzzle in years
Fantastic...Felt that you are in front of me...Every VDO teaches me something new...You are in the top teachers' list...Happy Teachers' Day...
Thank you! That's great to hear.
Very elegant chart :-), thank you for this Leila.
My pleasure Nico. Glad you like it.
Wow!!! I love an aesthetically pleasing spreadsheet and I love technicality driving this but I could never see myself putting all this work into a progress donut. It's still very cool and I love when ideas are turned into challenges and then turned into solutions. THIS is a great example of obfuscation or as I like to say, there is complexity behind the simplicity.
Haha, maybe we went a bit overboard. But it was a fun challenge :)
It all depends on how many times one plans to reuse it.
I used to play with more mathy charting in Excel 2003 when we could do snappy dynamic charting from VBA. But then it slowed down with the shared charting between Word and Excel in 2007. This piques my interest in the mathy bits again. Thanks Sam and Leila!
Thanks for sharing!
Your version is just fine for most of the cases!! 👍 Thx a lot!!!
Thank you for sharing both versions. While I prefer the look of Sam’s version, I really doubt all that fine-tuning is going to have a significant impact on a business presentation. It brings to mind the law of diminishing returns. So for the sake of efficiency and effectiveness, I’d just use your version and spend more time on making the business case more attractive instead.
Couldn't agree more. Sometimes we get caught up in the small intricacies of our curiosity and imagination, but it can often hinder us from what's priority: which is just developing a presentable and easy to follow report/dashboard for decision making. That's it!
Thanks for your hard work to bring for us a very useful functions , really it help us to create professional reports & dashboards
Kudos to Sam! I must humbly admit I would not have come up with this solution. But then again, I can't think of a situation where I would go through the trouble of making round edges!
Sam's is really a genius solution :)
That’s very cool! I’ve recently been using a donut chart and pie chart on different axis for velocity of improvement, but this does look really cool, I’m going to give it a go today!
That's great. Let us know how it went.
Happy teachers day Leila. You are my favorite teacher. Video is excellent. I like Sams version.
Thank you! Sam's version is genius.
Ma'am Happy Teacher's Day!! Wish you all the love & Happiness in you life!!!
Thank you very much!
That was REALLY good 👌"Thank You", thank you very much for sharing your support and time 😉

Thank you leila.
Glad you found something here. Hope it helps.
Thanks! All your videos teach me a bunch.
That's good to hear Victor.
After watching this my excel skills went down to 0.0001%
😄😄😄😄😄👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣
we are in the same boat... mine is probably even smaller lol
😅😅
Version 1 is just cool. Thanks Leila
You are AWESOME!!! EXACTLY what I was looking for.
amazing Leila, thank you very much, both ideas are great
Hi Leila
All your video are remarkably nice and worth trying .
Thanks a lot.
I'm happy to hear that.
Thank you for this Leila. Not that I need it, but pushing the limits further it's good habits anyway!
Exactly Stefano! Food for thought what is possible with Excel.
The second method got me thinking, I really wanted to understand the mathematical concept behind it. So, I created a video and uploaded it on my channel explaining that, the method I used is slightly different than the one explained here, but it has the same output. I would really appreciate your feedback on that if possible.
By the way, I’m a big fan of your content, I have been watching your videos since a very very long time, I learned a lot from you and now I’m teaching Excel online and offline. So Thanks again for your great content and effort.
All the best to come!!
You are unbelievable, I'm really impressed
This is a cool hack. I enjoy any video that helps me learn something new in Excel. Thank you for posting this video.
My pleasure. Glad to help.
They're both excellent
Thank you for the video, and to Sam for the solution V2, it's really impressed.

Att, Gledson Programador Excel VBA
Thank you so much ... I'm using it now in my project status report
Both! Awesome solution Sam!
Great video and explanation!
nice tutorial. good job. thanks
Sine, Cosine? You mean there's actually a practical use for this????? I should have paid more attention in school.
That's exactly what I thought 🤭
Anywhere you see things are moving in a circle, you can use trigonometric functions to solve problems easily.
Lol
The world is full of circles.
Ha, really if they only had have told it me at school! They do not tell it us in all countries! 😄😄
That's. genius. Thanks for posting.
Glad you like our little circle fun Sam :)
