# Pie Chart

## Introduction

The **Pie Chart** displays data of one series in a pie with each piece being the size of proportioned amount of the total amount:

## Expected Data and Graph Designer

The Pie Chart expects data in a two column format such as:

| Type    | Value         |
| ------- | ------------- |
| wrong   | <p>64<br></p> |
| none    | <p>87<br></p> |
| correct | <p>34<br></p> |

In the Graph Designer you can then select the column you want to use for your x-axis, which in this case is the different sections of the pie:

Hence, the x-axis column does not need to be the first column. However, for consistency purposes it is recommended to always use your first column for the x-axis.

The size of each pie piece will be automatically calculated and if you activate the **tooltip**, which you can do in the Graph Designer:

You can see the exact percentage as well as the absolute amount for each pie piece:
