New to Chart Help (Pie Chart)
I am trying to set up a chart from data in an excel spreadsheet, but am
having difficulty thus far. I have a cell values as follows: w41 = total hrs x3-x20 = category A y3-y20 = category B I want to have the Pie Chart to show what (%) of w41 is category A and what (%) is category B of w41. Eg say : w41 = 100 cat A(sum) = 25 cat B(sum) = 75 I cannot get these segments(slices) to be separate, but i keep getting W41 value = 100% and the other segments do not display. Can anyone assist me with this setup, i am sure it is easy yet as i do not work with charts i cannot get it set right. Regards Corey |

Your data needs to look like:
Category A 25 Category B 75 in a 2 x 2 grid. You don't need to convert to percentages, you can just keep the sums: Category A 18 Category B 54 and if you want, the data labels can display the percentages. Notice that the total in W41 does not appear in the grid. Select the 2 x 2 grid and run the chart wizard to make the chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Corey" wrote in message ...
