Using the pie chart

The pie chart is circular chart divided in one or more slices. Each slice represents the proportion of a value to the total of all values. Pie charts can be used to show the impact of a value in contrast to other values or the grand total. However, it may be hard to compare the size of slices within a pie chart when there are more than three slices, or across other pie charts. Therefore, if you need to compare data, we recommend using the bar chart instead.
