I am creating a Pie-in-Pie Chart.
The image shows what it's looks like right now. I would like that the second pie (right) sums up to 100%.
The underlying data looks as follows (the forth value 28.20% is described in detail by the second pie chart which contains the following values:
What I tried: Multiply all second pie chart's values by 28.20%. The result is the given pie chart. But the second pie chart doesn't sum up to 100% if I do it that way.
Any recommendation how to tackle this?
Thanks in advance!
I do not think that it can be done. The idea of the pie-in-pie chart is that the slices of the second (smaller) pie are shown as parts of the whole.
It can be done. Calculate the percentages of the second pie so that they equal 100% then click on the labels within the pie chart to bring up the format menu on the right. Click on 'Label Options' then check the box that says 'Value from Cells'. Then you just need to select the cells with your wanted values and they will be visible on the pie slices.

I am trying to recreate a graph like this one in Excel
I feel the "doughnut" type is the most appropriate - but I can't figure out how to get the graph to display just half a circle. Does the feature exist at all in Excel (which I assume) or what would be the best way to do?
In your data, make the "total" of everything part of the chart's source data, which would make the total be half the total pie chart. Then go to chart format, rotate first slice 270° to get the total on the bottom, then change the fill color to "no fill" for the total, and it will essentially look like a half circle chart. Now, in the legend (if visible), click on "total" and delete it from the legend.
I have an excel 2010 sheet with a bunch of customer data. I have the ages for the customers. They are a float value. I want a pie chart that shows the number of customers under 30, between 30 and 50, and over 50.
There are over 2000 rows.
I highlight the column, click inset, click the pie chart icon, and I get a disco ball coloured chart with the numbers 1-9 in the legend, excel then proceeds to crash. I get that, there are too many ages to put in a pie chart at that point.
So I've tried adding a column with a nested if statement to give me the values "Under 30", "Over 30 and under 50", and "Over 50". I thought, given there are only 3 unique values in this column, I could create a pie chart on it. Hoping it would give me the percentage of each age range. But I only get a legend value of 1 and a blank pie.
I know I'm obviously missing something really simple but I can't get my head around it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Two things:
A pie chart does not aggregate data automatically. You need to do the aggregation and feed the aggregated data to the pie chart
A pie chart needs numbers, not text. Well, any chart does.
So, to aggregate, you can use Countif or Countifs. For example, in the screenshot below the three numbers are calculated this way:
under 30 =COUNTIFS(A:A,"<30")
30 to 50 =COUNTIFS(A:A,">=30",A:A,"<50")
over 50 =COUNTIFS(A:A,">=50")
Then select the data as in the screenshot and insert a pie chart.
Add data labels and change the data label to show percentages if you want.
My original Excel bar chart looks like:
I want to add another series for 2014 data, as shown below:
I want the 2014 series to be scatter points overlaid on the original bar chart. However, when I add the 2014 series to the chart and change its chart type to Scatter, I obtain the following chart:
How can I change the bar chart back to its varying palette of colors as it is in the original chart, and change the 'Current' axis label to its original format which lists the different categories?
Ideally I'd want a time-efficient solution as I'll have to repeat this process with a number of similar charts.
I'm not sure if this is possible to do (quickly, elegantly, and/or without VBA) with multiple chart types. A few possible alternatives:
If you are only showing the difference from 2014, is a chart even necessary? Would a table be a better visualization?
Since it appears you are trying to plot the difference, why not plot this as a line graph?
Better yet, just plot the difference.
Start with a graph of one data series:
Add a second data series using Chart Tools|Design|Select Data:
Click the Add button and add data (series values) for a second series. Your chart should look like:
In the chart select the second data series. Then use the Chart Tools|Design|Change Chart Type tools to change the chart to a Line Chart.
From here on in it's formatting.
Select the second data series and do Chart Tools|Format|Format Selection to set the line color to no line. You can do any other formatting at this time.
Select the first data series and select each bar one at a time. Then use the Shape Fill button to customize each bar color:
Hope that helps!
I have several graphs linked to a data template - The data in the template changes depending on the selected business unit.
I have approximately 50 categories in the data template linked to a pie chart and depending on the unit selected I could therefore have anything from 0-50 categories shown as a percentage in my pie chart.
What I want to do is only show categories with a value over 2% in my pie.
So, I have used the 'pie of pie' function to make the cut at 2% but I do not want to see the second pie at all.
How do I hide all the values and data labels in the pie of pie chart? Ie Can I use formatting in the pie of pie chart to hide values between 0-2%?
I have searched for a solution to this but only come accross answers on how to hide zero values:
Example: Format Data Labels, Number, Format Code: 0%;;; OR 0%;[White][=0]General;General
I need a solution to this that does not involve changing my original data (ie I do not want to group my categories under 2% into an 'other' category in my data template as the categories will change depending on the unit selected)
Any advice?
I know this is a late answer but was looking for this myself and just figured it out.. First format the second pie so that each slice has no fill (becomes invisible), to speed this up just set the first slice to no fill and then highlight each slice and select F4 to repeat last action. Next select any slice from the main chart and hit CTRL+1 to bring up the Series Option window, here set the gap width to 0% (this will centre the main pie as much as possible) and set the second plot size to 5% (which is the minimum it will allow), and you have made your second pie invisible!
In my graph, the x axis are text values. When I make the graph, I cannot stretch it to the whole width. Instead, it takes only less than half of the width.
I usually do this by clicking on "Format Axis", but it doesn't offer that in this case.
Here is the screenshot:
I'm using Excel for Mac.
When you made the chart, did you select a bunch of empty rows below the range that actually contains data? Looks like twice as much empty data as data with values.
If you select the plot area or chart area, you can see the source data of the chart highlighted in the sheet. You can resize the highlighted range with the mouse to modify the amount of data in the chart.
Did they made different types for windows and mac? I'm using windows and scaling is never a problem here.
I can't give you any answer but I can give you a suggestion. Can you check the width of the numbers below the 'Number of public SLA templates' label? Its occupying all the width of your window.
