Doughnut PowerPoint Charts Template - Editable Data Slides for Presentations
Present complex proportions and relationships with clarity and impact using the Doughnut PowerPoint Charts Template - a 34-slide editable PPTX designed for professionals who build decks weekly for board meetings, investor updates, strategy reviews, and operational reporting. Standard PowerPoint pie charts often leave audiences guessing at values or miss opportunities to tell a story with data; this template solves that by converting numbers into elegant doughnut visuals that convey context instantly and convincingly.
Every slide is crafted to help you explain "what changed," "how big it is," and "why it matters" - not just show percentages. You`ll arrive at meetings with visuals ready for discussion, not excuses for sloppy charts.
Template Breakdown & Slide Features
This template includes 34 editable doughnut chart slides built for real business needs:
- Core proportion charts with clean legends and callouts for clear percentage communication.
- Nested doughnuts for comparing related metrics (e.g., total vs segment performance).
- Process-oriented doughnuts that frame stages or cyclical workflows around a central theme.
- Label-first layouts for executive presentations where numbers must register immediately.
All slides are fully editable in PowerPoint - change colors, fonts, labels, and data without breaking layouts.

Real-World Presentation Scenarios
Imagine you`re in a board review and need to answer these questions within minutes:

- Which operational costs contribute most to budget variance? A nested chart highlights layers of impact without clutter.
