Pull out a segment in an Excel pie chart
Pie charts are great for visually showing categories. Occasionally we might want to emphasise a segment. To do this, we can pull out a pie chart segment!
1 – Create a Pie Chart
Start by selecting your data, going to the Insert tab along the Ribbon and choosing Pie from the Charts subgroup.
2 – Drag a Segment
Click on the middle of the Pie Chart to select it. Now click and drag a segment out. In this example we wish to draw out the “Net Worth” pie chart segment.
You now have a Pie chart with a single segment emphasised.
As you can see this is a very quick way to draw attention to a particular pie chart segment. Read on below for further information on working with pie charts and display options available.
