Use different colors to show compoents of a pie slice
 

I need to create a pie chart where each slice of the pie is broken down by
color. For example, if there are four pie slices, one labeled Planning, and
Planning has two components to it, I need to have two colors for those
components in that pie slice. In other words, if Planning is at 50%, and
within Planning, you have Meetings at 40% and Documentation at 10%, I need to
show that by color breakdown. Same thing if one of the slices had four
components to it, I need to have four colors within that pie slce. I cannot
use Pie within a Pie because some of the pie charts would have multiple
slices that have more than one component.

Hi,

This page has fancy pie chart tricks.

But you might want to consider using a stacked bar or columns chart
rather than a pie.
