Filled Donut Chart, Yumm..

Filled Donut Chart, Yumm..

We are starting today off with a fun chart. We will be making a filled donut chart. Typically, I don’t use donut charts but in this case I think we have a good reason, and it’s delicious…

The data being used in this visual varies from o to 100%. This could be something like a test score or a compliance number. Thus, we will be using the donut chart to represent a completion of 100% or some variant below.

Video on how to build this chart.

During this video we used a couple measures. They are the following:

Measures

Average Product Score = AVERAGE( ‘Product Scores’[Score] ) / 100

Average Product Score Inverse = 1 - [Average Product Score]

Where the value of the Score comes from the Product Scores table. The Score column ranges from 0 to 100%. If you like this visual and want to download a sample file visit my GitHub page.

Kurt Buhler joins Tommy Puglia and Mike Carlo to sort out what data literacy and AI literacy require once Microsoft Fabric and agents make it easy to build faster than a team can review.
