Pie Chart in Tableau - Tableau charts

0:00Hey, it's Tim here. I've got two minutes to

0:02show you how to build a pie chart in Table

0:03au.

0:04Let's get stuck in. So I'm going to grab

0:06the dimension that I'm going to use to

0:08separate the

0:08pie chart with. In this case, it's segment.

0:11I'm going to drag it and put it on color.

0:13This will

0:14create three squares on the page. The next

0:16thing I'll do is tell Tableau that I would

0:18like a pie

0:19chart. So go ahead down to pie and we'll

0:21get a pie chart with equal proportions.

0:23This is a great

0:24start. I'll do one thing while I'm here, go

0:26to color, select the border, set it to

0:28white. That

0:28just creates some separation between the

0:30sections. Now I need to have the

0:32proportions accurately

0:33calculated at the moment they're equal

0:35because there's no calculation to be done.

0:37So I'll drag

0:37my sales value, which is going to be the

0:39metric that I'll use to drive my pie chart.

0:41And I'm just

0:42going to put it on detail. The reason I'm

0:43doing that is because I'd like the

0:45percentage of total

0:46to be used in this calculation. So I'll go

0:48down to the little dropdown on the right

0:49hand side of

0:50the pill, go to quick table calculation and

0:52select percentage of total. Now the

0:54percentage of toast

0:55is showing up. I'll grab it and put it on

0:57angle. And now you can see my angles work

1:00perfectly fine.

1:01The last thing I'll do is I'll grab the sum

1:03of cells and I'll duplicate it and put it

1:05on the

1:05label so I can actually see the proportion.

1:07So this way I'm going to hold Command or

1:09Control

1:10and drag that onto the label. And now we'll

1:12see the duplicate value over there. You'll

1:14see there's

1:15two items on the pane here as well. Let's

1:17set this to the entire view to give us a

1:19bit more space.

1:20The last thing I'll do is add some labels.

1:22So again, I'll hold Command and Control,

1:24drag segment onto label and we have a very,

1:26very basic pie chart in tablet.

1:28Thanks for watching. I'll catch you in the

1:29next one.

1:30Hmm.

1:30Okay.
