Default Charts using Macro

Tom,

This sounds like a nice idea but we really want to show it in one single
chart... we did think abt this previosuly but as the number of data points
keep on chaning we really donno how we will arrange the data and stuff so
thought of making it in one chart only.....

This there any thing else.....

BTW... your suggestion yesterday was really v v good.... my team has really
liked it a lot and the full credit goes to you... thanks a lot...

Possilby you could have the large slices on one pie chart with a dummy
slice equal to the percentage of all the small slices - then use the second
pie chart to show the smaller slices. I haven't done it but hopefully this
article will lead you to means of implementing that solution if you decide it
is appropriate. You would probably have to reorganize your data.

Hi,

I have made a pie chart using a macro... the problem is i also want to
display the percentage with the chart.

Now for some reports there are times when there are many small values....so
the chart gets messy with all the values overlapping........ i have to make
many pie's that way and cant really sit and correct each one of it.........

can somebody suggest something???
