How to create a percentage based on a column

I just started learning PowerBI, here is a spreadsheet I am working on:

ID column1

1   Validated

2   Not Validated

3   Validated

4......

 

I need to create a dashboard with a pie/donut/ring showing the percentage of Validated vs. Not Validated, and two grids beneath the chart.

 

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can tell me the detailed steps.

 

Thank you in advance.
