Single Column Donut Chart

A donut chart shows one categorical column as proportions: each category is a segment around a hollow center. It's the same as a pie chart but with the center blank, which can make the segments easier to read and leaves space for a total or label. It's available when you're viewing a single column via More Charts.

When to use it

• One categorical column — Same data as a single horizontal bar or pie chart, shown as part-of-whole.
• Part-of-whole — When you want to emphasize share of total (e.g. market share, response mix).
• Hollow center — Same as pie with a blank center; can improve readability or allow a central label.

How to create it

1. Select a single categorical column — Only one column in the pivot.
2. Open More Charts — On the left, click More Charts.
3. Choose Donut — Select Donut. The chart updates to show segments by count or percentage.

Small categories may be merged into "Other" to keep the chart readable; this depends on AddMaple's settings.

What you see

• Donut — Full circle with a blank center; each segment's angle = share of total.
• Legend — Category labels and colors; project colors apply.

Use aggregation to show Total, Average, or Median by category. See pie, rose, additional charts.

Key points

• One categorical column; access via More Charts → Donut.
• Same as pie with a hollow center; each segment's angle = share of total.
• Works with aggregation (Total, Average, etc.) for aggregated proportions.
