Default Pie Chart

I have created multiple pie charts that are not displaying correct
percentages. For instance I key in 100 in one cell and 50 in the next cell.
I create the graph and ask for percentage, not value. The percentage
displays as 67% and 33%.

Default Pie Chart

Hi,

It is correct is you are not displaying any precision.

100/(100+50) = 0.66666 = 67%
50/(100+50) = 0.33333 = 33%

What values did you expect to see?

Cheers
Andy
