Pie Charts is one of the most used and simple to understand graphical form of a report. It gives a graphical view of different portion from the whole.

Below are the steps to create a pie chart:

  2. It is now time to insert the required values to create the pie chart.

  3. For this example I am using an age distribution pie chart. Drag the field that you want to create a pie chart for, and drop it in the Legend.

 
4.  Now again drag the same Age field and drop it in the Values. This will result in pie charts as shown below .
 
 
5.  We can further add details to the given pie chart. For this example, I am breaking down the age with gender. Therefore, drag the gender field and drop it to Details.   
 
 
 
6.  Below image shows the difference of entering a field in the Details to not having any value in Details.
