How I built this AWESOME donut chart without using custom visuals (Power BI)

In this video, I'm sharing with you how I used my creativity to build a donut chart on steroids!

I took some inspiration for this one on this blog post by Prathy, who has amazing posts about Power BI report design too:

Note: This video is intended to help Power BI developers being more creative with their reports, however, always consider performance issues and limitations that might arise when creating these types of creative visuals.

This is brilliant.. The only thing I did at the end is to make a plain white button the size of the table header and place it over the header row so that no one can mistakenly sort the table.. 😃

Hey Mara! Just discovered your channel and it's fantastic! Many thanks for your insights! Also, I absolutely loved the way you "tricked" the donut chart into constantly keeping 1/4 of the circumference "reserved" for the blank background (I got so curious that I actually did the math, Kudos to you!!!)

I used this on my project, I must say you are really good. I will always support your Channel

Loved the simple use of viz items to make great visual

Thanks for the upload! I've been binge watching your channel. As a young women myself I love watching other female BI specialist.

Very nice.
Ok Ms. Chart I have a challenge for you. Try making a Stacked Column / Line chart where the Stacked column and a Goal line are showing as a % on the first Y Axis (left) and a line with markers showing $ on the second Y Axis (right).

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are awesome and such a big help I cannot thank you enough. Awesome channel name by the way!

Awesome.. Please keep it up new designs ❤❤❤

A great option for certain KPIs... I battle to get my circle spacing as perfectly symmetrical. I notice my inner radius measure is a percentage, not points. Perhaps a later release?

[bidforbusiness]

Excellent. Great idea which I will definitely use. Thank you

[adebanjolateef]

This is so very creative. I'll definitely recreate this for my visuals. Great work 👍

[juanignacioXI]

Awesome, simple and cool thanks a lot!

[Mr.Hoque.]

great idea by you. can you share a video about how can i bring the image file in power bi?

[adamtoth]

Thanks for the video! Is there a way to change the bins so that the last bin contains everything not contained in the other bins?

This is very creative. Thanks for sharing! Has anyone figured out how to mimic the activity rings in Apple Fitness where it shows the rings overlapping if you exceed your target? I'd love to be able to recreate that for some of my scorecard dashboards.
