Pie charts divide a circle into slices proportional to each category’s share of the total. Best for communicating part-to-whole proportions to a broad audience when you have a small number of clearly distinct categories (typically five or fewer).

​
Variants

​
Pie

Standard filled circle. Each slice’s arc length is proportional to its value.

​
Donut

A pie with a hollow center. Select Donut under Shape in the Style tab to switch; select Pie to switch back.

​
Center total

Turn on Show total in the Style tab to render the measure’s grand total in the donut’s hole. The total uses the measure’s number format. The option appears only for a donut, since a pie has no hollow center to fill.

​
Color and slice ordering

Slices are colored using the active color palette in palette order, matched to the sort order of your query results. To change which slice appears first, adjust the sort in the results table.
