-: The pie chart is perfect to showcase relation
and part to whole.
And in this lecture I'd like to go
over with you how to create a pie chart properly
and what we can edit there.
Here we have some data.
I'll select the data.
It's votes cast by 60 students
on what is their favorite subject.
So I'll take the entire data table.
I'll insert a chart, I'll select a pie immediately.
Well, the 3D pie isn't really something we will use.
We will definitely want to use the normal
original pie chart.
Okay, and we have inserted the data.
I'll close this up
and this is what we see by default, created by PowerPoint.
We have inserted a pie chart.
I will select this as complete.
Now, short numbers high to low.
You can see we have a lower number
than we have a higher number.
Low, low than again high.
I would like to organize this highest to lowest.
I will right click edit data and go very briefly into Excel.
You can see everything is selected.
By going to data you can click on the sort
and filter or just enlarge this a little bit.
And here in the sort and filter category we have Z to A
meaning the biggest to smallest.
But if I click on this
you can see PowerPoint still makes a mistake.
Mathematics has 12, but it is after five.
Sometimes if you select the title as well, you
need to like select the data once again without the titles.
Now I press Z to A.
It should organize properly.
Yes, we have 12 now here everything seems to be fine
and we have sorted the data.
Now when you click on the pie chart,
you click on the plus sign.
You see there is not much things.
We can deselect the legend and insert data labels
because they look very well on a pie chart.
I'll press Ctrl B and the last one is add percentage
or values.
I'll click on the data labels, right click format
data labels, and you can see on the right side
we have something different than we had
in the previous charts.
Here we can actually showcase percentage,
showcase the category name that we have and maybe
deselect the value because this is getting like too much
of information on them.
I'll make the data labels slightly bigger and I need to
change their color.
This one basically is invisible, so I would go
to the text color and I would recolor it to white.
Maybe I would color this white as well.
Maybe the music white as well.
I wanna show you one last thing you can do with a pie chart.
With a pie chart.
If you click on the pie chart itself in its options
you can see the angle of the first slice.
If you want the first slice to start later, sometimes
it depends on the presentation.
I can, for example, hit 90 degrees and this will be now
the starting point.
The last thing I wanna show you is the pie explosion.
I'm not a big fan of this feature.
You can explode the pie a little bit
meaning exactly what you see here.
You can also grab something
and pull it outside of the pie chart
but as you can see, this explosion really doesn't help.
It only restricts the area for our pie chart
and this also depends how much space the actual chart has.
You can see I could make it smaller.
I could make the title smaller
so I'll gain a bit of space here
but the explosion really isn't very attractive
in my opinion.
Another little thing, you can click on the data labels
and you can select where they are displayed.
You could, for example, make them outside end.
You would need to change the color of course
because now they would be outside the pie chart.
I like to have them inside the pie chart.
If the pie chart itself allows it
and maybe adding some information on the site.
This would be a very easy readable slide.
Thank you for your attention in this lecture.
Let's work on the pie chart a little bit and
in the next lecture we'll work on another different chart.
