Pie charts

what is the best way to label a pie chart that has a large number of small segments in it i.e. 20+

RE: pie charts

Hello Robert

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

If you add data labels to the chart, firstly I would ensure you tick the option to include leader lines (line that runs between the label and the corresponding pie segment).

Once the labels are displayed, you can click on individual labels to move them around. If you position a label further away from from it's respective segment, a leader line will appear connecting the label with the segment.

Also you can move labels on top of pie segments where they are large enough to fit.

I hope you find these suggestions useful.
Amanda


 

Excel tip:

Use the Ctrl-key for quick navigation in Excel 2010

If you want to move quickly to the right, left, top or bottom of your spreadsheet, just press Ctrl and one of the arrow keys. If you want to then select all the data in that particular row or column, hold down the Shift key and press Ctrl and an arrow key.
