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.
- Click on the page to place the donut visualization.
- Under Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Output in 'Pages' select the table you want to display as a donut chart.
If instead of a table you wish to use a variable, under Inputs > DATA SOURCE > Variables in 'Data' select the variable from the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the variable into the menu itself from the Data Sets tree. - OPTIONAL: If your input table contains more than one column, go to Inputs > 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 Inputs > 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 table. Normally, this only occurs when you double-click the caption and edit the text directly. As a workaround, we recommend using Properties > CAPTION > Edit caption to edit your captions.
