Default pie chart percentages are not right!


Maybe I'm overlooking the obvious...but when creating a simple pie chart
with 2 columns of data...the resulting chart has percentage values that
are way off. Below is the data...for example...in my pie chart...the
value for "449900" shows as 7%. Why?

contract total
880049 17.41%
449959 27.53%
449900 15.18%
459719 6.28%
459685 5.47%
472435 18.02%
486738 7.89%
458810 1.01%
487322 0.40%
487314 0.61%
605201 0.20%
611112 0.00%
605200 0.00%

It's obvious that you're graphing the wrong data range, because
449900 is 7% of the sum of the contract numbers.
