This article describes how to go from a single-column table (or a single categorical variable) like this...
...to a donut chart, like this:
Requirements
A data table consisting of at least one column, or a single variable containing categorical data.
Method 1 - Via the visualization menu
- Go to Visualization
> Pies > Donut from the toolbar.
- Click on the page to place the donut visualization.
- Under Data > Data Source > Data select the table you want to display as a donut chart.
If instead of a table you wish to use a variable, under Data > Data Source > Variables select the variable from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the variable into the menu itself from the Data Sources tree. - OPTIONAL: If your input table contains more than one column, go to Data > Column Manipulations > Columns to show and specify which column you would like to display.
- OPTIONAL: Under the Chart tab of the object inspector, you can make additional formatting changes.
Method 2 - From an existing table
- Select the table.
- From the object inspector, go to Visualization > Pies > Donut.
- OPTIONAL: If your input table contains more than one column, go to Data > Column Manipulations > Columns to show and specify which column you would like to display.
- OPTIONAL: Under the Chart tab of the object inspector, you can make additional formatting changes.
Note
Important information about editing captions:
Visualization caption edits may not be retained when a visualization with a nested table is switched back to a table. Normally, this only occurs when you double-click the caption and edit the text directly. As a workaround, we recommend using Appearance > Caption > Edit caption to edit your captions.
If a donut with test visualization is selected significance tests, shown as arrows, are added automatically.
