TABLEAU DONUT CHART TUTORIAL

Get Tableau Certified, guaranteed - www.artofvisua...
A donut chart is essentially a Pie Chart with an area of the center cut out.
However, Donut Charts have a slight advantage over Pie Charts, which are sometimes criticized for focusing on relative sizes of the pieces to one another and the chart as a whole, giving no indication of changes as a whole when compared to other Pie Charts.
A Donut Chart partly addresses this problem by de-emphasizing the use of the area, to make the viewer focus more on the changes in overall values. You are focused on reading the length of the arcs, rather than comparing the proportions between slices.
Also, Donut Charts can take up less space than Pie Charts by having their centers used to display information within their blank centers.

Hi, nice tutorial thanks! Is there a way to conditionally format the blue bar with green/red based if over/under target?

[@ArtofVisualization]

Hi J R, To do this you can simply add a calculated field which determines whether the value is over or under target. You can then use this calculated field on the colour options for the chart.

[@JR-sl6pq]

Hrm it's really proving harder than I thought... So using your example, I was hoping to get the Blue portion of the Donut which represents "Sales" as Green or Red based on +/- Target. I was then hoping to fill in the Orange portion of your Donut as grey which represents the "Sales Remaining"
I've been trying to make an IF statement to use as the filter on the "Colour" tab of the Donut which I thought should be -
If Sum([Sales]) >= Sum([Sales Target]) then "Green"
Elseif Sum([Sales]) < sum([Sales Target]) then "Red"
Else NULL END
That formula ends up colouring the whole Donut though so then I can't see the colour split between the Green/Red portion of "Sales" vs the Grey Colour of "Sales Remaining" if that makes sense?
So then I thought maybe I need to add in a condition for the "Sales Remaining" portion of the Donut as well. My new IF statement to try and capture the Grey "Sales Remaining" portion was -
If Sum([Sales]) >= Sum([Sales Target]) then "Green"
Elseif Sum([Sales]) < sum([Sales Target]) then "Red"
Elseif [Sales Remaining] >= 0 then "Grey" else "Grey" END
If I drag onto the "Colour" tab, it's still only bringing "Red" or "Green" and colour the whole Donut... I'm rather stumped so any help is greatly greatly appreciated if you have any wisdom :) ?

​@@JR-sl6pq Hi, my friend! That's ok? Have you solve your question? I have the same problem.

[@kittydoes7600]

This is really helpful. Can you create a tutorial for creating speedometer please?

[@ArtofVisualization]

Hi Kather, thanks for your suggestion. We will think about it :)

[@kittydoes7600]

SuperDataScience thank you 😊 looking forward to it

[@ArtofVisualization]

Kather, check out our tutorial on creating a clock face: ruclips.net/video/b_X71QgOD9E/видео.html. It can easily be adapted to function as a speedometer.

[@kittydoes7600]

Wow! Many thanks! I'll try if I will be able to create the speedometer using this.

[@christiechang135]

Good and clear steps shown in video!

[@ArtofVisualization]

Thanks for your feedback Christie!

[@maxweber1767]

you can fix the above 100% limitation using an if condition

[@msdrebs]

Thanks for this tutorial! It literally saved hours of me stressing out :D is it possible at all to put an icon in the middle of the chart?

[@ArtofVisualization]

Hi xderbs, with a small "hack", yes. You can simply place a picture object onto the dashboard, but using the _Floating_ layout option for the picture. This way you can resize and move it around without any restriction or impact on the other charts.

[@msdrebs]

Brilliant, I will give it a try, thanks :)
