Q&A for How to Make a Pie Chart in Excel

You'll have to make percentages. A pie chart by definition is 100%. If your data is not in percent, then Excel will create percentages for you.

Once you have the pie chart on the board, there are different shades next to it that says "change color"; click on that.

You might have entered information wrongly and it can't process. Try re-entering your data.

Look for a section that says Chart Elements while the graph is selected. Once there, use either data labels and/or the legend to add whatever labels you need. I would recommend tinkering with these options to see what you could use.

Go to one of the top tabs, and on one it says "charts" then click on it, and it will say Pie Chart.

I would recommend saving the pie chart as an image, navigating to the Insert tab in Excel, and inserting your pie chart as an image.

Select the chart by clicking in the center of it, press Ctrl (on your keyboard), and while that key is down, press C. Now open up your Microsoft Word and press Ctrl V (that means press Ctrl and meanwhile its down, press V). Your chart should show up, but the colors may be different.

Your data first has to be in percentages. Then click the chart and it will automatically calculate it for you.

Click the pie chart and go to the design tab. After you click the design tab, go to colors and you should be able to change the color of your pie chart.
