Ms excel 05 - data visualization: using charts and graphs to represent information visually. Using charts and graphs to represent information visually. Pie charts work best to display data with a small number of categories (2-5). Pie charts should be avoided when there are many categories, or when categories do not total. The human eye has trouble comparing the relative size of slices in a pie chart, so pie charts should also be avoided when slices are similar, unless similarity is the point. If you have several parts of something whole, you can demonstrate each item in one pie chart. But, when several parts each amount to less than 10 percent of the pie, it becomes hard to distinguish the slices. That"s when to use this kind of chart. This chart provides a way to add additional categories to a pie chart without generating a pie chart too complex to read.
