What is Pie Chart and how to create in MS Excel

A pie graph, also known as a pie chart, is a circular graphical representation of data, divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions. Each slice represents a category's contribution to the whole. The size of each slice is proportional to the value or percentage of the data it represents. Pie charts are effective for displaying parts of a whole, making it easy to compare different categories.

Creating a pie graph in MS Excel is straightforward. First, enter the data into a worksheet with categories in one column and their corresponding values in another. After entering the data, select the range of values you want to include in the chart. Then, go to the "Insert" tab, click on "Pie Chart" from the Chart options, and select the desired pie chart style (2D or 3D). Excel will generate a pie chart based on the selected data. You can further customize the chart by adding labels, changing colors, and modifying the legend to enhance clarity. Excel’s built-in tools make it easy to visually analyze proportions, making pie charts a popular choice for data presentation.
