Hello, I would like to create 8 pie charts based on the data below. Each pie chart would indicate the percentage of each 00:27:30 segment that was devoted to certain categories of radio. Pie charts on the left would measure, for ecah segment, how much International, National and Local content we aried. Pie charts on the right would measure, for each segment, how much News, Information and Non-news we aired. There are four segments in total for this program.
Is this simply too complicated to do?
The way I see it, I need the chart to calculate based on several "IF" scenarios. It must check to see if content comes from the correct segment before deciding whether to include it in the pie chart. It must divide a time by a time to get a percentage, which is a number formatting challenge. And finally, it must collate/combine the instances of each value, so that for example all the National stories are combined into one slice of pie.
Thank you so much!
I don't expect this is something you can explain simply in a forum. But I'd like to at least understand whether I am asking too much of excel. Here are the chart cells I'm converting to a pie chart:
