## Expected Data and Graph Designer
The Donut Chart expects data in a two column format such as:
| Type | Value |
| ---- | ------------- |
| a | 37
|
| b | 28
|
| c | 42
|
| d | 78 |
In the Graph Designer you can then select the column you want to use for your x-axis, which in this case is the different sections of the donut:
Hence, the x-axis column does not need to be the first column. However, for consistency purposes it is recommended to always use your first column for the x-axis.
The size of each donut piece will be automatically calculated and if you activate the **tooltip**, which you can do in the Graph Designer:
You can see the exact percentage as well as the absolute amount for each donut piece:
