Before we discuss how to make a pie chart in google sheets, Let’s see what is a pie graph.
A pie chart is a statistical graphic that shows a numerical proportion using a circular design. The slices are equal in size and each slice’s arc length is proportional to the quantity represented. Statistical charts are a great way to display quantitative information, but the most common types of pie charts are bar charts, scatter plots, and line graphs. For more details, read on. Listed below are a few examples.
First, make sure that the slices are sized correctly. The slices should be half the circle. This makes them easier for readers to read. The pie chart below is a good example. It shows how many native English speakers are in the United States. It is important to note that the number of non-native English speakers is smaller in the United States than it is in the United Kingdom. This means that a slice of pie can be easily understood, but a larger slice may be harder to read.
In a pie chart, the slices should be adjacent to each other or exploding. This is useful for comparing different groups. It’s important to remember that pie slices cannot be pulled out one by one. This is why you can use other plots to compare different groups. However, you should remember that pie charts are best viewed one at a time. If you need to compare a single slice to several, it is best to create different charts.
