It sounds like you'll have to create a pivot table with a pivot chart to do
this. See
http://www.allaboutoffice.co.uk/expivot.htm for details. The
pivot table can count the number of instances of each department and then if
you select only the month you require you can use a pie chart pivot chart to
display that data.

Hello
I have a problem.
For my work, I compile staff absence spreadsheets with the following
columns.
Name
Department
Month
Reason.
What I want to do is create a chart for each month based on the department
data (eg. a pie chart for January may show two thirds of the area being 'IT
Department' and one third may say 'Personnel Department'.
How would I do that ?
Regards
Jonathan
