Note: this is different to double clicking, this is a single left click followed another single left click. If you left click again on the piece of pie you want you will only choose that one piece. (All the pieces have the selection circles on the corners. When you click on the pieces of pie on a pie chart to select them, you’ll notice that if you simply left click once then you end up choosing all the pieces of pie.
Yes, before I start you did read correctly we are going to explode a pie chart, exploding pies all round! Note: This option can actually be used on all types of chart not just pie charts. Now if I change what is in the cell B3, the chart title will update automatically. Then click on the cell that you want to be linked to the chart title.Then click in the formula bar and type an equals sign = Click on the Chart Title so that it is selected and it has the selection circles around its edges.However you may not have known that you can also have the chart title update by doing the following: You probably already know that if you change the data that the chart is based on then the chart automatically updates.
Make the chart title automatically update I’m using Excel 2013 for my examples, but these tricks work in all versions of Excel.
In this case I’ve chosen the cells A4:A9 and F5:F9 (by holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard when choosing the second area of cells). It’s a good idea when making a pie chart to only choose one row or column of data and the corresponding headings for that data. Next time we’ll look at several other Excel charts included in Excel 2013.In Microsoft Excel, here’s some data and a nice pie chart I’ve just made from this data. Also watch for how column and bar charts can overcome weaknesses inherent in pie charts. Watch for some Excel features and tricks that can overcome some of these weakness to some extent. Due to the circular nature of the pie chart and the geometry of circles, it’s often hard to determine if a pie slice is twice as big as another slice or just two-thirds as big as another pie slice, for example. The third challenge with pie charts is determining the relative sizes of pie slices. Readers can usually determine which slice is the biggest, but it can be harder to decide the order of other pie slices. The second challenge is that it’s hard to tell the relative order of the pie slices. The first challenge with a pie chart is that it takes up a lot of space relative to the amount of data the chart conveys. Excel 2013 Pie Charts are very common, but have three weaknesses we’ll explore and work around in Excel Video 462.
