This Progress circle chart infographic is different to what you’ve seen before.
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.

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!
