Example: Pie Chart That Shows Total MSRP for Each Car Type by Region

In this example, you want to compare the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) for each car type grouped by region of origin. The resulting pie chart consists of six rings—one for each car type. The rings are then subset into the MSRP values for the three regions: Asia, Europe, and USA. Using this chart, you can compare the total MSRP values for each region. The ring for the SUV car type shows that the USA has the highest MSRP and that Europe has the lowest MSRP.

In the Tasks section, expand the Graph folder, and then double-click Pie Chart. The user interface for the Pie Chart task opens.
