Hi, I am trying to add a pie chart into an excel document. It automatically
sizes itself and when I drag to resize, it shrinks the chart itself too much
and there is a lot of wasted white space around the chart. Is there a way
when I create the chart that I can specify which cells the chart needs to fit
into?

Select the plot area (use the dropdown on the Chart toolbar, or click in the
corners of the square defined by the pie's circle), then drag the edges
outward to expand the pie within the chart area.
