I have a series of numbers that show how a hard drives space is being used.
The table shows the figures in GB values. How do I get a pie chart based on
the table to show the % per section and not the GB value?

In the data labels tab of the format series or chart options dialogs, you
can select percentage instead of value for display in the labels of a pie
chart.

Hi,

With the chart selected, choose, Chart, Chart Options, Data Labels tab and
turn on Percent and turn off Values.

Same idea in 2007 but an entirely differnent place.

Thanks for that. I was half way there. I just hadn't switched off the values.
