Hello, I need to create a gauge-style doughnut Chart that not only shows the 0% - 100% range, but that will also show ranges that fall below 0%, or that go over 100%.

By following tutorials on YT, I've made gauge-style doughnut charts that look like this...

...and different charts that combine 2 doughnuts to look like this... (combining 2 tutorials)

As much as I like the chart above with the 100 slices, the solid-fill chart works best for the spreadsheet I'm working on since I have to reduce the size down to very small (and the slices don't show up very clear when zoomed down so small), since I need to visually see up to 23 charts (one for each day of the month) on a single sheet, like this...

These doughnut charts are rotated to a 270 degree angle and the 0% - 100% values work fine, but when given a value of minus 0%, the gauge doesn't work properly (rather than the gauge going the opposite direction, it fills part of the gauge...in the same direction as it would when a positive number is given. And when a value of greater than 100% is given, it doesn't go beyond the 100% level.

In order to visually describe what I'm trying to achieve, I've created in Photoshop what I need the chart to do, I hope that's OK.

Here is a picture of the chart (no Photoshop) that works perfectly fine when no value less than 0% or greater than 100% is given. (The inner (purple) doughnut represents the "daily target" which is always going to occupy the 0%-100% range, since that never changes.. The outer (blue) doughnut represents the "actual" figure...and this figure will very often be either a negative value, or a value greater than 100%)...

Here is a Photoshop'ed picture...showcasing what I would like the outer doughnut (the "actual" value) to look like when a negative value is given to it...

And here is another Photoshop'ed picture...showcasing what I would like the outer doughnut (the "actual" value) to look like when a value greater than 100% is given to it...

Thank you so much for your time! I would appreciate any help in being able to create this gauge chart that allows for negative values and values over 100%.

Kind Regards,
Nathan
