How to Create a Pie Chart
Data Format
One row per slice.
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Would Recommend | 80 |
| Would Not Recommend | 20 |
- Label (required): the category name, shown next to its slice.
- Value (required, numeric, ≥ 0): the slice's size, as a share of the total across all rows. Values don't need to add up to 100, they're always rescaled to fill the circle.
There's no grouping column, a pie chart plots exactly one series. For a breakdown across two dimensions, use a stacked or 100% stacked bar chart instead.
Chart Elements
Every part of the chart maps to a section in the style panel.
Slices
Each row renders as one slice, in row order starting from the top.
- Fill - one color row per slice.
- Stroke / Stroke Width - slice border.
- Dash - Solid, Dashed, or Dotted border.
Hole size (None, Small, Medium, Large) lives in the Settings panel, not under Slices, since it's a chart-wide setting rather than a per-slice one. Setting it to anything but None turns this into a donut chart, see the Donut Chart guide.
Labels
Shows each slice's label and value, positioned automatically around the circle based on the slice's angle. There's no manual position control, labels always sit just outside their own slice.
- Color - text color.
- Font / Font Size - text styling.
- Prefix / Suffix - applied to the value shown on each label, e.g. "$", "%".
- Decimals - decimal places on the value.
