Doughnut
Use the Doughnut chart to show how the proportion of different groupings relates to one another. When comparing the performance of different segments or categories, a doughnut chart can effectively highlight which segments are larger or smaller in comparison, aiding in comparative analysis. The Doughnut chart can be a good alternative to a pie chart if you have a lot of slices, making it difficult to read.
Input
The Doughnut chart requires numeric columns.
