Pie chart handles in the pivot table don't function
Hi,
I don't believe you can resize the plotarea for a pie chart, or in fact any chart, when it is linked to a pivot table. You will need to make your own chart based on the cells. But don't you the mouse to select the cells otherwise it will create an automatic link to the pivot table and you will not be able to resize the plotarea.

Hi Andy: So then will it really be a pivot chart if I don't use the mouse to
select the cells? Still confused. Thanks, Hazel "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, I don't believe you can resize the plotarea for a pie chart, or in fact any chart, when it is linked to a pivot table.

No it will not be a pivot chart.
You have to decide pivot functionality or resizable plotarea. Cheers Andy hazel wrote: Hi Andy: So then will it really be a pivot chart if I don't use the mouse to select the cells? Still confused.

This may or may not help you but by default a PivotChart is in a sheet by
itself. That makes it fairly large to begin with. Further, you can "explode" the pie by clicking any of the slices and dragging it away from the center. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...
