Visualize progress to goal as a shaded graph

Hello, how can I get a graph to simply visualize the current progress to the goal?

It seems to represent the total amount split between each cell.


I'm looking to get it to show 75% with 3/4 of the graph shaded to represent this

( 825/1100 = 0.75 )


I'm utterly confused, what am I missing here?

The donut calculates percentages automatically.


But if you want a "temperature" type chart then you can use a 2D Stacked Bar something like this:




Formula in E2:


=C2/B2


Formula in F2:


=100%−E2


To create the chart:

  1. Select E1:F2 and choose Insert > Chart > 2D Stacked Bar.
  2. Click the chart, then 'Edit Data References' and choose 'Plot Columns as Series' in dropdown at the lower left.
  3. Format colors, etc. to taste.
