Pie Chart

A pie chart is a circular statistical graphic that is used to represent data in the form of "slices" of a pie. Each slice corresponds to a category's proportion or percentage of the total. The size of each slice is proportional to the value it represents, making it easy to compare the relative sizes of different categories at a glance.

Key Fields of a Pie Chart

  1. The dimension represents the categories or segments that the pie chart will divide into. It is qualitative and helps categorize the data.
    •  Geographical Dimensions: Country, state, city.
  2. This is the numerical value that determines the size of each slice. The measure reflects the proportion or percentage of the total that each dimension category represents.
    •  Sales Figures: Total sales, sales revenue.

You can display a maximum of One Dimension and One measure in your chart/table.

When to Use a Pie Chart:

  • Pie charts are ideal for showing the relative proportions or percentages of a whole.
  • Best used when you have a small number of categories (ideally fewer than 6-7) to avoid clutter and maintain clarity.
  • Pie charts are effective for quickly conveying simple, straightforward data distributions.
