Community Admin

• Strategy


Use pie charts to conduct visual analysis. Use this article as a reference to know some quick facts about pie charts. You can even download the dossier to view it in MicroStrategy Desktop.

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.

Description

A pie chart is another important chart type used in conducting visual analysis. It is divided into sectors, illustrating a quantitative proportion. Though one of the most basic visualizations, it enables key stakeholders to analyze data quickly and efficiently. The following are components needed to form a pie chart with Strategy:

  • Angle
  • Color By
  • Slice
  • Vertical
  • Horizontal
  • Break By
  • Size By
  • Tooltip (Optional)

With the image below, you can view three different pie charts sorted by calendar months:

In a pie chart, the central angle and area is proportional to the quantity it represents. Strategy provides a multitude of different variations in the way it can be represented.
For example, the pie chart may be formatted in the "ring" format.
 

Note: If you have fewer attributes to analyze, we recommend you use a pie chart.Pie charts can be a bit confusing for large amounts of data.
