Default How do I create a doughnut chart with different sizes for each ser

I want to make a doughnut chart that has a size proportional to the total
value for each serie. Let's say the outter doughnut have a greaterthickness
than the inner one.

Even if you could get the areas to be proportional (you can't in Excel),
nobody will realize it, because human perception of areas is far less
accurate than of lengths. You should use a bar chart instead.

Thank you.
I was expecting an answer like that.
Well I will use a bar chart as you recommend.

Thank you once again
