Data - Pie Chart
main topic  

Data may be arranged in one of two forms:

·    Raw form (counts of unique values) - you need one column of numeric, text, or date/time values to be counted. Each row of your data should represent a single observation. The resulting pie chart contains a slice for each unique value in the column.

·    Table (summary) form - you need one column of categorical data and one or more columns of corresponding summary data. The resulting pie chart contains a slice for each category.

For example:
