HOW IT WORKSWhat this chart shows
- Show the share of each sales channel.
- Summarize a single-choice survey or a product mix.
- Percentage = category value ÷ total × 100. Sector angle = percentage ÷ 100 × 360°.
- Slices start at 12 o’clock and run clockwise. “Other” goes last when sorting or grouping; otherwise the input order is kept. Grouping below 5% or outside the top five is optional.
CHECK YOUR DATALimits and common mistakes
- Use 2–12 categories with nonnegative numbers. At least two values must be positive. Zero-value categories do not create slices.
- Use data that adds up to one whole. Multiple-choice survey responses are usually better shown as bars.
- Rounded percentages may not add up to exactly 100%. A note appears when they do not.
Make a pie chart for your next presentation
Enter mutually exclusive categories and their values, then download a pie or donut chart. Use counts or amounts when possible: the tool calculates each share as value ÷ total × 100. For example, values of 60, 30 and 10 give slices of 60%, 30% and 10%.

Choose a display that fits the data
| Choice | Use it when | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Largest first | Comparing shares such as sales by product | Slices run clockwise from 12 o’clock. A category named “Other” goes last. |
| Input order | The categories have a meaningful order, such as levels of satisfaction | Your row order stays intact. |
| Group below 5% | Several thin slices make labels hard to read | Two or more categories below 5% join “Other”. A single small category keeps its name unless an “Other” category already exists. Exactly 5% stays separate. |
| Keep top 5 | You want to emphasize the largest categories | Two or more remaining categories join “Other”. A single remaining category keeps its name unless “Other” already exists. Review what is being combined. |
The grouping cutoffs are options provided by this tool, not statistical rules. Keep all categories if the smaller ones are important to your argument.
When a pie chart is the wrong choice
A pie chart represents one complete whole. Multiple-choice survey answers can overlap, so their percentages may exceed 100%; use a bar chart for those. Use a line chart for a trend over time, or a 100% stacked bar chart to compare the composition of several groups.
If your input values are already percentages, enter “%” as the unit. A total differing from 100% by more than 0.5 percentage points triggers a warning. Do not omit an unanswered or unknown category and then present the remainder as the original whole. Rounded labels may add up to slightly above or below 100% even when the underlying values are correct.
Edit the downloaded chart in PowerPoint
- Select “Download PowerPoint” and open the file in desktop PowerPoint.
- Select the chart, then choose Chart Design → Edit Data.
- Change the labels or values in the workbook, close it and save the presentation.
The file contains an editable chart and its data, so you can copy the slide into your presentation. PowerPoint controls fonts and label placement, which may differ from this preview. Donut charts and pie charts with slices below 5% use a legend in the PowerPoint file to reduce overlapping labels.
Sorting and grouping are saved as they appear at download time. Changing a value in PowerPoint does not automatically sort the categories again or recalculate which ones belong in “Other”. The total, title and source are separate text boxes; update them manually after editing values. Make those changes here and download a new file when needed.
