__How to create a pie chart in excel__ Most information created in excel can be organized using different types of charts. The one chart I find useful is the pie chart. It is so simple to create one but it is also easy to see the comparisons between the specific categories. I am going to give step by step instructions to help create one: 1. First you want to make sure all the information needed for the pie chart is typed in the excel worksheet. 2. Next highlight the information you wish to appear on the pie chart. 3. Once it is highlighted, click on the insert tab. 4. There will be different types of chart buttons including one that says “pie chart” which you will click on. 5. A drop down menu will appear with different choices for 2-D and 3-D pie charts. It is up to you which one you want to use. 6. The pie chart will automatically appear. 7. From there you can change the color/layout of the chart under the design tab. 8. If you click on the layout tab it will give choices of items you wish to appear on your chart including chart title, axis titles, legend, data label, data tables, etc. 9. Finally you can drag and resize the chart to your choosing. These are simple instructions that will hopefully help make creating a pie chart easier for you.
