How to create a Pie Chart in Microsoft Excel 2013

A pie chart is great for showing the way that 100% is divided between the items you are charting. I can either see how the coffee sales divide up among the months, or how each month divides up amongst the coffee types. As a pie chart looks at just 100% it is not used to compare, in the same way a column or bar chart are used.

  3. Click on the drop down below the Pie Chart Icon
  4. Choose which type of pie chart you want to use
  5. The pie chart Appears!

I am looking at how the different types of coffee divide up in January so I selected just the January figures with the types of coffee labels.

 

Happy Learning!
