Source Data Mess
 

Using Excel 2003
I created one pie chart and then did a copy & paste to paste that same chart
into another worksheet. Then I right-clicked and chose €œSource Data€� and
then highlighted the data for the new chart with the new raw data. Theres
one problem €“ The data labels and the corresponding percentages pasted over,
but the pieces of the pie chart do not correspond to their data labels.
Theres a piece of the pie that is supposed to be 49% and its about half of
what it should be. I hope I explained this properly. Does anyone know why
this is happening?

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, Karen

Karen,
Try this:
Select the "new" chart by right mouse click to select it.
Then select "Source Data" and put the original Pie chart data (from first
chart).
