Why it matters
When to use a donut chart
Showing a small number of mutually exclusive components of one total when the center can communicate the total, period, or primary context.
Avoid donut charts for trends, negative values, multiple unrelated totals, precise category ranking, or more slices than readers can compare comfortably.
