We construct a pie chart with the percentage assignment. For example take an official tax analyst 'Income tax types in the consolidated budget for 2015':
Select the entire table including the names of the columns. On the 'INSERT' tab in the 'Charts' group choose a simple “Pie”.
Diagram appears on the sheet after clicking on the tabs of the selected type of the form:
A separate segment of the circle is the share of each tax in the total revenues of the consolidated budget in 2015.
Now we show the percentage of taxes in the diagram. Click the right mouse button. In the dialog box select a task 'Add Data Labels'.
The values from the second column of the table will be on the parts of the circle:
Once again right click on the chart and select the item 'Format Data Labels':
In the menu in the subgroup of 'LABEL OPTIONS' you need to uncheck the 'Value' and put the checkmark on 'Percentage'.
In the 'NUMBER' subgroup change the common format on percentage. Remove the decimal digits and set the format code '0%'.
Put the '0.0%' in the “Format Code” field if you want to display percentages with a single decimal place. Set '0.00%' if you need two characters after the decimal point. And so on.
Default settings allow you to change the place of signatures on the chart. Possible options:
- 'Center' - the signature will be displayed at the center of the segments;
- 'Inside End' - the signature will appear from the inside circumference;
- 'Outside End' - a signature will appear on the outside of the circle. When you select this diagram option pie will be slightly smaller but smaller data improves readability;
- 'Best Fit' - option allows Excel to set the signature optimally.
In the menu in the subgroup of 'TEXT OPTIONS' you can use the tool 'Text direction' to change the direction of the signatures in the subgroup of 'Vertical alignment'. It also set the incline angle.
Choose a “horizontal” direction and position 'Middle Center”.
Pie chart with percentage is ready. The chart shows the percentage of income from taxation.

- with a percent (the percentage contribution of each type of tax in the total amount);
- 100%.
