Hi all, how do you make such a chart and have it to be live data?

I know how to make a donut chart with pie chart no problem, but I don't know how to split into two sides this example above. Much appreciated!

      Thank you Jane, but that link doesn't tell me how to split data in two half-donuts like example above.

      Hi Wuts,

      I see 11 donut charts. What do you mean by two half-donuts?

        You can get a hole into it by applying an opacity mask.

        But you can't control where it splits.

        Thank you Monika. How would you tackle this design challenge then? I can see myself do two charts, then mask one for the left half, the other one for the right half, but it seems quite tedious.

        Probably it will be easier to not use charts at all, but just do it with circle shapes?
