Circular charts

Under circular charts, Inforiver offers Pie and Donut charts.

Pie and donut charts both use circle slices to represent values, with larger values appearing as larger slices, indicating a greater proportion of the whole, and vice versa. Both are identical, with the exception that the donut chart has a hole in the middle.

1. Adding the chart

Let's start with an example below where we'll visualize the magnitude of Actuals of the categories using a circular chart.

Step 1: We have added 'Category' and 'Sub Category' in the Rows field, and '2020 Actuals', '2021 Actuals' and '2022 Actuals' in the Values (AC) field in the visualization pane.
