Simple pie chart

We can select a dimension and a measure to create a simple pie chart. /b10> In our example, we named the dimension profit after a measure called profit. /b11> Remove the area dimensions from the color and label marks. /b12> Reduce the profit measure to a size marker. /b13> Select the chart type to be a pie chart. /b14> Displays the chart below, showing 4 areas of different colors.

Under the drill pie chart

We can select dimensions with hierarchies, and as we go deeper into the hierarchy, the chart changes to reflect the level of dimensions selected. /b10> In the following example, we have two levels of dimension subcategories - manufacturer and product name. /b11> We put the measured profit on the "label" mark. /b12> The pie chart below is displayed, showing the value of each slice.

Further into the hierarchy, we get the manufacturer as the label, and the pie chart above changes as shown below.
