Donut chart
Hi,
I need som show-and-tell how I can set up a donut chart in my Power BI (May 2020)
I have a portfolio and want it to show all it's all holdings (in % of that portfolio) but I what shall I have on the details/values/legends and such? Beaucse right now I have:
Legend: holdings
Values: Portfolio
and the donut says: "Count of Portflio by Holdings" and it just seems that it divded 18/100 (since the portfolio have 18 holdings within it and 100 means 100% i guess. but it is not true)

Anonymous , issue is not clear with your description. But it should show % of total
Hi 🙂
But lets say that I have a bag, and the bag is 100%, and in my bag, I have 5 bubble gums (so 5/100 will therefore be shown in my donut) and I have 90 socks, (90/100 will therefore be shown in my donut) and then 5 scarfs, thererfore there is 5/100 that will be shown in my donut)So where shall my bag describe? Legend? Details? or Values? (or tooltips?)
And what shall my items (bubble gum, the socks and the scarfs been described?)
Thank you,sir!Hi Anonymous ,
The items like bag, scarfs, will be legends.
And value of this should be in i.e 5 , 90 should be in Values.
so incase i have 5 categories and its cost this is how the do nut chart will look.

Hi Anonymous ,
Considering Portfolio to be categorical data and holdings to be numeric data, you should have the below configuration:
1. Portfolio in Legend
2. Holdings in Values
You can refer below example where Team is my categorical data just like your portfolio and Runs is my numeric data just like your holdings:

Hello @mellbell ,
You can first change the data type from [holdings] to Whole number of all, then put [Portfolio] in the Legend box, put [holdings] in the Values box, and set the [holdings] to "Percentage of overall total" as below screenshot shown.
