Single Column Pie Chart

A pie chart shows one categorical column as proportions: each category is a segment, and the angle of each segment represents count or share of total. It's available when you're viewing a single column via More Charts.

When to use it

• One categorical column — Same data as a single horizontal bar, shown as part-of-whole.
• Part-of-whole — When you want to emphasize share of total (e.g. market share, response mix).
• Classic proportions — Full circle; each segment's angle = share of total.

How to create it

1. Select a single categorical column — Only one column in the pivot.
2. Open More Charts — On the left, click More Charts.
3. Choose Pie — Select Pie. The chart updates to show segments by count or percentage.

Small categories may be merged into "Other" to keep the chart readable; this depends on AddMaple's settings.
