hard📝 Scenario Q15 of 15

Power BI - Basic Visualizations

AUse the donut chart's center text option to display total sales

BEnable the 'Detail labels' and set 'Label style' to 'Data value and percentage'

CAdd a card visual on top of the donut chart manually

DCreate a measure that sums sales and add it to Legend

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand donut chart limitations
Built-in donut charts do not have a direct center text option for totals with multiple category slices; the center category label works only for single categories.
Step 2: Apply best practice workaround
Create a total sales measure, add a Card visual to display it, and manually position the card in the donut's center hole. Other options fail: no center text (A), labels on slices (C), legend misuse (D).
Final Answer:
Add a card visual on top of the donut chart manually -> Option C
Quick Check:
Card overlay = donut center total [OK]

Quick Trick: Overlay Card visual in donut center for totals [OK]
