series name.

2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart button.

3 Select Labels, and then drag the Position pager to place the data point label closer

to—or farther away from—the center of the pie, or specify a value in the eld to set

the wedge’s distance from the center of the pie as a percentage of the pie’s radius.

4 To display the values in a particular format, choose from the Format pop-up menu and

adjust the options:

Number: Displays the data point value with no units. Displays the data point value

with no units. In the Decimals eld, specify how many decimal places you want to

appear. To display negative values preceded by a minus sign or in parentheses, choose

orders of magnitude on the left side of the decimal.

Currency: Displays the data point value as a monetary amount. Select the currency

unit symbol from the Symbol pop-up menu. In the Decimals eld, specify how many

decimal places you want to appear. To display negative values preceded by a minus

sign or in parentheses, choose –100 or (100) from the pop-up menu. Choose Separator

if you want to separate the orders of magnitude on the left side of the decimal.

Percentage: Displays the data point value as divided by 100. In the Decimals eld,

specify how many decimal places you want to appear. To display negative values

preceded by a minus sign or in parentheses, choose –100 or (100) from the pop-up

menu. Choose Separator if you want to separate the orders of magnitude on the left

side of the decimal.

Date and Time: Displays data point values with a date and time format.

or weeks).

values are greater than 1, you won’t see any fractional representation of your data.)

Choose how accurately you want the fractions rounded o from the Accuracy pop-up

menu. Choosing an item such as Halves or Quarters represents the values as a portion

of the total pie, rounded to the nearest division you selected.

Scientic: Displays data point values in scientic notation, where 10 raised to a power

is represented as E+ an integer. In the Decimals eld, specify how many decimal places

you want to appear.
