How to create a Sunburst Chart without coding
You need to visualize hierarchical data, and you know a Sunburst Chart is the perfect chart for the job.
But when you try to make one in traditional tools like Excel, you realize it is not natively supported and needs complex workarounds. You waste hours looking for tutorials or templates, only to end up with a static image that you can't interact with.
You need a better way.
The Problem with Traditional Tools
Most BI tools treat the Sunburst Chart as an "advanced" feature. They require:
- Specific data formatting (that takes hours).
- Installing custom scripts or plugins.
- Writing code (Python/R) just to get the dots to show up.

Why Sunburst Chart Matters
A Sunburst Chart is a multi-level pie chart that visualizes hierarchical data through concentric circles. Each level of the hierarchy is represented by a ring, with the innermost circle representing the top level. It is useful for displaying proportions and relationships within hierarchical structures.
Thus, a Sunburst Chart is perfect for showing flows and relationships in your data. Whether you're analyzing customer journeys, resource allocations, or any process with inputs and outputs, this chart type makes complex information easy to understand.
