3D Pie Charts
|
Click the Home | New Graph | Statistical | 3D Pie Chart command to display data as proportional slices of a cylinder. Each data value is divided by the sum of all the data to determine the size of the slice. The data with the largest proportions appear as the largest slices. 3D pie charts contain each row as a separate slice of the pie. The pie chart is automatically labeled with two labels. The top label is the text in the worksheet's label column. The second label is the percentage of the pie for that slice. Either label can be altered to display data values, as well. Click the 3D Pie Chart button to create the pie chart with a 3D appearance. |
