Pie Charts
In 2003 I used to be able to ungroup a pie chart and move the segments around as required - unfortunately 2007 not allowing me to ungroup the pie and using explosion seperates all segments - I would like to pull each segment out seperately - then 2 need to come out together - but pie keeps distorting - any advice to help? thanks
RE: Pie Charts
Hi Anita
Thank you for your question - the feature you are looking for is still supported. First click on your chart. All the segments are highglighted at once. Let go of the mouse then single click on the segment you want to move. You should hopefully find the segment moves independently.
Let me know how you get on.
Kind regards,
Andrew
RE: Pie Charts
Thanks Andrew - I couldn't manage that on flat pie but 3D pie has allowed me to pull segments out - only thing - where I have several slides of the same pie - it resizes so you get a flicking affect between slides ? any easier way to ensure all pies are the same sizes over several sheets (using grid - helps but not 100%? thanks again !
RE: Pie Charts
Hi Anita
Thank you for your question.
One way would be to copy the first slide for all subsequent slides, make adjustments as necessay. Unfortunately I am not aware of a way to directly control the size of the chart in Excel. It is possible to do with VBA programming which alas is outside the scope of the forum.
I'm sorry I can't help you more. If I can think of an alternative solution I will certainly add it to this post.
Kind regards,
Andrew
