Donut Chart

It’s a custom visual very similar to existing standard visual, the difference it’s the value inside the donut chart and the possibility to insert a secondary metric:

The custom visual automatically will create the hierarchy without having to do anything else. You can change between single or multiple selection under Selection label in the Format tab:
