Pie of Pie
Can anyone walk me through how to build a "pie of pie" chart? That is, I
need a secondary pie chart to "explode" a slice of the main pie chart. Excel's help was not too helpful on this topic. |

While I might argue that you should never use a pie of pie chart (there are
so many other useful options that don't distort data!!!), this feat is accomplished by using the Chart Wizard - Chart type, pie of pie. Then, when you format a series, under the options tab, you can choose how many series you want to include in the second pie. -- Best Regards, Luke M "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Please don't do this. :) I suggest you read edward tufte's fine book on the visual display of data for the resons why. He has a great example of why this is abomination. :) |
