Does anyone know how to do a donut inside a donut type of graph in Visual Analytics?

The overall chart would be sales in a company, with 4 departments (donut split into 4 sections). sales registered per year (outer donut would represent the most recent sales, inner donut would represent past sales)

Here is an example (please excuse my paint skills):

The donut visualization is currently not available in the production 7.3,release. I've seen it demonstrated at SAS Global Forum in the upcoming 8.1 version. In the meantime you can do a pie chart that has a grouping stacked property.

Kind Regards,

Do you know if they've written a paper or who was that did the demonstration?

Donut reads out Do Not. It's not readable and over used like its cousin the pie.
I think your data would be much better off using a bar chart.
