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. Increase the Inner radius value in the Style tab to any non-zero value to switch to a donut. The hollow center can be used to surface a summary value via a KPI tile on a dashboard, or simply to reduce visual density. By default, a donut also shows the measure’s total in the hole, formatted with the measure’s own number format. Toggle it with Show total, next to the Data labels controls in the Style tab.

​
Inner radius

Drag the Inner radius slider in the Style tab or enter a pixel value. Setting it to 0 returns to a full pie.

​
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.
