Help,
I want to show the zero value in pie chart\donut chart.
so all users will appear on the chart even though he has a value of 0
can pie chart or donut chart do that?
i used filter on this visual and still not show the 0 value on the chart,
thank you 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't believe this will work, but have you tried clicking on the column that you have in the Legend in the Fields pane and then choosing to show items with no data?

I struggled with this as well but finally got something that actually looks really good and you wouldn't know it wasn't a donut chart if you didn't know better. To accomplish an atypical representation of a donut chart that is visually appealing, start by creating measures that represent the needed sections. (FakeDonutSection1 = 100/6 or however many sections you need to create) Add them. I then created KPI cards and carefully formatted so they were brought to the front of the appropriate section.. (You'll have to resize and tinker with obviously) To finish I actually added a transparent button over the top to prevent any unexpected issues with users clicking as they would with a normal donut chart. I think that was it...Hope this helps!

Hi, You said this worked for you. I'm wondering how because I ran into the same issue with a pie chart and I following @Greg_Deckler suggestion, nothing changed for me. Is there may be something I'm not doing correctly? Thanks.
