# Pie Chart ## About **pie charts** A pie chart divides one categorical variable into slices that represent parts of a whole

Example of a pie chart in Microreact

## **Creating your pie chart** |

Step 1: Select a category from your metadata table to create the pie chart, with slices representing the proportion of each unique element in that column.

Tooltips will display the count and percentage of each category when hovering over individual slices.

Step 2: Select how you would like the size of your pie slices to be represented and whether you would like to omit null values from the visual.

Note: rows with null values for your pie chart category will still be present in other panels of your dashboard.

Step 3: Indicate whether you want the slice labels to appear inside each slice, outside the pie chart or turn labels off.

You can also select whether to display percentages as part of the labels. Even if you turn off the percentage labels, you will still see percent values in the tooltips.


Users can also set a minimum count to hide labels from slices that are very small while still visualising labels for primary slices.
