About Pie Charts
When to Use Pie Charts
Pie charts are perfect for displaying parts of a whole, showing proportional data where each slice represents a percentage of the total. Use pie charts when you have categorical data that adds up to 100%, such as budget breakdowns, survey results, market share analysis, or demographic distributions. They work best with 3-7 categories to maintain clarity and visual impact.
