This is one of the best Excel guides I've seen so far: Your voice is calm, you're straight to the point, and your explanation doesn't take long to point out the piece of information you're trying to explain. Thank you for being professional on this.
Hi John, thank you for sharing your personal perspective on this topic. In my experience, another negative I have found, is the amount of space pie charts occupy. When working with dashboards, these charts tend to use too much screen space for the amount of information they provide. Usually, I limit their use only when displaying no more than two sets of information.
Mini exam: I chose #10. The legend and % are inside each slice making it easier to understand. Also, I like the monochrome because it's less distracting.
Thank you Jon! My boss loves pie charts and I always provide bar and column charts along with the pie charts as alternatives; i always include a reminder that pie charts are good for only 3-4 values at the most and when using more values, there's a good amount of manual work involved; it takes time to realign all the data labels when there is too much data or manually have to change the colors to make them stand out. I keep trying to get away from them, but I don't know if that will ever happen! But I did learn some tricks from this that might work for when I need to use them. Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you Jon, an informative and very useful as always. This also helps how to better explain to a supervisor why one chart type is better in a given situation.
Thank you Jon for good tutorial. besides, I also want to add a good benefit to use pie chat for what in order to introduce speedometer illustruations. I'm using it by making some tricks and getting good results.
Certainly, Salam! Select the columns (or rows) containing the chart you want to hide. Then, in the Ribbon, click Data, then Group. The + symbol appears. Click the + to view the chart, and the + will turn into a - symbol.

Waiting for Halloween to talk about pie... We're onto you Jon :D
Haha yep! Thanks! 😊
Excellent tutorial Jon. The sweet is very appetizing.
Be careful with sugar!!! Thank you for this complete information. :)
Thanks Ivan! My sugar intake is actually much lower in real life. I guess I like to dream about pies and donuts. 😂
