Pie Chart

A Pie Chart is essentially a circle divided into slices. The full circle, or “pie” represents 100% of the data points selected. By having categorical data, each slice represents a different category where each slice is proportional to the value it visualizes. Pie charts are the most appropriate when we’re trying to show the proportions of a limited number of subcategories that make up a whole. For example proportions of Yes, No, and Impartial votes as parts of the entire votes count. While this number is fairly arbitrary, having pie charts with more than 10 slices does not provide a good user experience.

Creating a Pie Chart​

To create a Pie Chart, we need one column as a Category and one as Values. In the case below, we want to see the composition of each product line in the entire orders. We drag and drop productLine as Category and quantityOrdered as Values. We continue styling the chart in the Configuration Panel and changed the shape to donut.
