Doughnut Charts (Report Builder 1.0)
A doughnut chart illustrates the relationship of parts to a whole; however, it can contain more than one series. The value data is displayed as percentages of the whole. Categories are represented by individual slices. Doughnut charts are typically used to show percentages. Doughnut charts are functionally identical to pie charts.
There are two types of doughnut charts: doughnut and exploded doughnut.
Doughnut
A doughnut chart displays data in rings, where each ring represents a data series. The category groups, series groups, and values series are displayed as doughnut slices. The size of the slice is determined by the series value as a percentage of the total of all values.

Values |
Required. The values in a value series determine the size of the slice in the doughnut. Multiple value series appear as separate slices. |
Category groups |
Optional. Categories are displayed as individual slices in the doughnut. Each category is displayed in the chart legend. |
Series groups |
Optional. Series are displayed as individual slices in the doughnut. Each series is also displayed in the chart legend. |
Settings for the x- and y-axis are ignored for doughnut charts. If you have multiple category or series groups, the group labels are displayed in the chart legend.
Exploded Doughnut
An exploded doughnut chart is identical to a doughnut chart except that the slices are moved away from the center of the doughnut. This results in space between the doughnut slices. It can contain more than one data series.
