Values on Data Point

[alec1982]

Hi,

I have a pie Chart and I set the Values to show on Data Point.

As you see in the attached image . some nrs are showing on top of the other. exactly where it shows $350,000 and there is $20 showing on top of the last two digits of it.

How can fix that and make the values ppear with space betwen them.

Thxs,

Alec

Hi,

if you have very small parts in your pie, I think the only way to 'solve' this is to make the chart bigger. It might be better to add the values to you legend instead of in the chart.

Hi,

thanks for the replay, the chart is a small one. I dont have a controll to make it bigger as the size of the dashboar is limitted.

I have attached a smaple.

He Alec,

Maybe you should ask yourself what you're trying to show with the pie chart?

Maybe a simple table or a bar chart might be better suited for the job.

Its because of small section. value doesn't fit.

Can you try with Text as Popup and in the presentation tab show numbers in the Legend which shows the value in the corresponding legend.

Alec,

You should try to convince your manager to read on of the books of Stephen Few.

For instance show me the numbers or information dashboard design.
