Hi Chris,

Thank you for the forum question.

I found 3 videos on YouTube which explain the procedure.

If it does not makes sense I am happy to look at your data. If you send me your file please explain which data you want to have in each level.

RE: How can I make a multy-level pie/doughnut chart?

Hi Chris,


Please have a look at my example (see attachment).

You can only change the angle and "explode" the outer part of the chart. If you want the chart to look like it is "exploded" (white gabs between the parts) you can add white shape outlines and set the weight.

A walk around what you want is to create three charts and align them on top of each other (have a look at my second chart in my example). If you do this you can change the angle for each of them and also "explode" each of them.

I have used spinners (form controls) so you can change the values with the mouse. I use a formula to make sure that what ever value you change the sum of the value shown in the chart = 360 (the circle's 360 degrees).


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Create your own custom list on Excel 2010!

If you know how to use the auto-fill option on Excel then why not create your own customs lists?

The auto fill feature saves you time by allowing you to enter one of the list entries into a cell and then use your mouse to automatically drag the rest of the list into the cells below, above or to either side of the initial cell. When using your mouse to perform this task you will see a thin black cross appear at the bottom right hand side of the cell. Click, hold and drag to make the list appear.

Default lists include weekdays and months. To create your own list in Excel 2010 do the following;

>File
>Options
>Advanced
>Scroll right to the bottom of the page and you will see a buttom "edit custom lists", click this button
>enter your list in the list entries
>click add

Now try it out. Good luck.
