Using Pie Charts

Pie charts are used to display proportional data and percentages.

Each wedge in a pie chart shows one item in the dimension. The wedge size is proportional to the quantity that it represents.

To create a pie chart, use one dimension in the Group/Color field well. With only one field, the chart displays the division of values by row count. To display the division of dimension values by a metric value, you can add a metric field to the Value field well.

Pie charts show up to 20 data points for group or color.

To create a pie chart:

Click , the Dashboards tab.
Click Dashboard Designer, in the bottom-left corner.
On the Analyses dialog, click New analysis or click , the Options button, next to an existing analysis and select Edit.
On the analysis page, click , the Add visual button, on the toolbar.
Click the Pie chart icon.
Add data to the visual by dragging fields from the Data panel to the appropriate field wells in the Visuals panel:
1. Drag a dimension to the Group/Color field well.
2. Drag a measure to the Value field well.
3. Add drill-down layers by dragging one or more additional fields to the Group/Color field well.
Optional: To divide the visual into several smaller visuals, each with a different view of the same data, drag a dimension from the Data panel to the Small Multiples field well.
Each copy of the visual shows a different data view based on the selected dimension. This function is useful when you want to display multiple comparative visuals side by side. For example, you can create a set of visuals that show a different data view for every location.
Customize the appearance of the visual in the Properties panel on the right.
