Exploded Pie Chart in Power BI

Hi All,

 

I want to include exploded pie chart like the one provided by https://pbivizedit.com/ (Advanced Donot and Pie Chart(PRO)).

Vizedit one is not for free, if anyone knows any free alternative please let me know.

 

Visual Using Vizedit : -

 

 

Above is the visual screenshot for reference.

    Hi Priyamxylem ,

     

    Power BI’s default Pie and Donut charts don’t support exploded segments out of the box. Since OKViz’s visual is paid, here are a couple of free alternatives you can try:

    1. Deneb (Custom Visual)
      It’s free and super flexible. You can build Vega-Lite based visuals, including exploded pie charts. It takes a bit of learning, but there are templates available online to get you started.

    2. Charticulator
      Another free visual creator from Microsoft Research. You can design custom visuals like exploded pies and import them into Power BI. It’s a bit more visual than Deneb and doesn’t require code.

    3. Workaround with default visuals
      If you only need to highlight a single slice, you can simulate an “exploded” effect by:

      • Duplicating the data
      • Offsetting one slice using a transparent background or shape overlay
      • Using bookmarks to toggle between views

    Not perfect, but works for simple use cases.

     

    If my response resolved your query, kindly mark it as the Accepted Solution to assist others. Additionally, I would be grateful for a 'Kudos' if you found my response helpful.
