Default Pie Chart Question

Hi, I am tring to make a pie chart that needs to include 2 pieces of
information for one series.

I have two columns of information (number and value) that relate to one
person. There are 5 people all together.

How do I do this?

Default Pie Chart Question

Technically possible, you might create a bar-pie chart or a pie-of-pie chart.
IMO, this would be a TERRIBLE idea. Pie charts should be forgotten, IMO,
because they often distort data and make it very hard to actually read the
data.

My recommendation would be to make a clustered chart, a stacked-column
chart, or perhaps a clustered-stacked chart.
