A pie (or circle) chart is a statistical graphic that divides data into slices to illustrate numerical proportion — the arc length of a slice is proportional to the quantity it represents. The pie chart is a classic chart type that displays your search in a circle; Invoca’s default pie chart displays data in the shape of a doughnut, or thick ring. Your search needs at least one attribute and one Measure to be represented as a pie chart, and the attribute column must have fewer than 250 values.

How pie charts divide data

Pie charts divide your data into sectors that each represent a proportion of a whole circle. To display the exact values of each slice along with percentages, select the Chart configuration icon > Settings > All labels.

Pie in pie charts

A pie in pie chart compares more than one component of an attribute, showing two concentric pie charts that compare different Measures. To create one, assign two different Measures to the Size section under Edit chart configuration.

Color customization

You can customize the colors of each pie using the Chart configuration icon:
  1. Click the Chart configuration icon.
  2. From the Edit chart window, click the attribute under Category.
  3. Click the color chip next to each item you want to change, or enter a Hex value directly. Changes save immediately.
If you have a pie in pie chart, changing a color updates both widgets that apply to that attribute value.

Limitations

Pie charts do not support conditional formatting.
