How to create a Doughnut Chart?

Doughnut Chart is a cool chart to show the progress status like an analog speed meter. In my opinion this chart is great to show a single information which is very important to Management Team. But you can also show many information in a single Doughnut Chart.
Assume that, you are a Pilot of Mig29. In cockpit and need to know the fuel status immediately. Just look at the Fuel Meter for 1 second and you will know how much fuel is present in your stock.

For the perspective of Bangladesh Mobile Phone Industry, most of the company always focused 3 major points.
  1. Days gone in the current month
  2. What is the status of total volume achievement against total volume target
  3. What is the value achievement status against target.

To make the Daily Sales Report, which shows the above 3 information the best way is to show it in Doughnut Chart. Below image is showing a MTD (Month to Date) Sales Status of the current month based on sample data.

How to create the Doughnut Chart on Percentage:
To create a Doughnut Chart on Percentage, you need 2 variables. Assume that D3 shows the Day Passed percentage 78%. And D4 is 100%-78% = 22% Days Remaining.

One thing you should remember, if you create Doughnut Chart based on Percentage, then keep in mind that, the total Percentage will cover the circle of Doughnut. For example, If your achievement is 152% against target, then your Doughnut Chart will fill with single achievement color. Because the gap is 0% which will not show in Doughnut Chart.
Now to create a Doughnut Chart Select D3:D4 cell and choose Insert ➪ Charts ➪ Pie or Doughnut Chart.

Now your chart will looks like below:
