In terms of value, it’s no more than a data point (or a few data points).It doesn’t misrepresent or distort a data point (which a pie chart is sometimes guilty of doing).It grabs readers attention and can effectively be used to highlight a specific metric/KPI.It’s really simple to read and understand.
