Default Pie Chart Data Labels

I've created a pie chart that shows the Category name in the default location
(outside of the pie chart itself). That's the easy part.

I need to show the Value but do not want that Value to appear after the
Category name.

I want the Value to overlay its respective pie wedge, like the Column chart,
which places the Value over each column (which can be moved and edited
independently.)

Make two embedded pie charts from the same data range (dragging the
frame while pressing Ctrl makes a nice copy). Format one to have the
numbers only, in the slices, and the other to have the labels only,
outside the slices.

Now format one of the two pies to have no fill and no border, and drag
them together so that the invisible one overlays the visible one. Voila!
you have a pie with labels outside and values inside.

Default Pie Chart Data Labels

Hi,

Have a look at the tricks on my page. A pie chart can have 2 data series
with each one displayed on a separate axis.

You can then apply different data label type to each series.

Cheers
Andy
