Just like the other progress circle charts it uses the doughnut chart as the basis. A text box is placed in the middle of the progress chart (I will show you an Excel chart trick to embed the text box inside the chart object). The value of the text box is connected to the percentage completed value which is input in a cell. 00:00 Why standard Excel donut charts look boring 00:42 Method 1: The "Border Trick" for fast rounded edges 02:02 Professional Tip: Embedding dynamic text inside charts 03:01 Adjusting donut hole size for a minimalist look 04:57 Method 2: The "Advanced Way" for perfectly circular edges 05:30 Using Sine and Cosine functions to map circle endpoints 06:50 How to combine Donut charts with Scatter Plots 08:24 Scaling and aligning axes for pixel-perfect markers 09:50 Final Test: Making your progress chart fully dynamic What makes this chart different to the rest? It's a small design tweak that makes THIS progress circle chart look more professional. This chart comes with ROUNDED EDGES. This seems like a small tweak, but there isn't a simple option in Excel to get the inside shape have rounded edges. In this video you'll find two versions to create this Excel progress chart infographic with rounded edges (or the doughnut chart with rounded edges): Version #1 (by me) - It requires a simple tweak to the border of the chart. This brings us halfway there but it doesn't give the professional look we're going after. Version #2 (by Sam Dekoven): This version has perfectly rounded edges for the doughnut chart and it uses a smart technique which combines a scatter plot series with the doughnut chart (together with the SIN COS and PI Excel Functions). Many thanks to Sam for sharing his version with all of us!
