Creating a Pie Chart
This example illustrates how to create a pie chart. Follow the steps below to create a pie chart that displays Total Sales according to Year.
1. Create a new report, and add a blank chart element. Click the chart to open the Chart Editor.
2. In the Data Source panel, expand the 'Global Worksheet' node, and expand the 'Tutorial' folder and the 'ProductSales' Data Worksheet.

3. From 'ProductSales' Data Worksheet, drag the 'Total' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Y' region of the Binding panel.
4. Drag the 'Month(Date)' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Color' region of the Visual panel.

5. Click the 'Select Chart Type' button in the Binding panel, and choose 'Pie'. This converts the chart into a pie-chart representation.

6. Add the respective year values to the pie slices: Drag the 'Month(Date)' field from the Data Source panel to the 'Text' region of the Visual panel.

7. (Optional) Remove the legend. Follow the steps below:
a. Right-click the chart and select 'Properties' from the context menu. This opens the 'Chart Properties' dialog box.
b. Right-click on the legend, and select 'Hide Legend' from the context menu.

c. Press 'OK' to close the dialog box.
8. Preview the chart.

The pie chart is now complete. To place a small gap between the slices, set the 'Explode Pie' plot property. See Plot Property for more information.
