Pie chart based off pivot table

[nyconfidential]

Hi there - I'm trying to create a pie chart that will only have two sections: the sum of the top 5 values, and the sum of all of the other values in the column. For example:

Let's say I have a list of 15 cars - one part of the pie chart will be the sum of the 5 most expensive cars. The other part of the pie chart will sum up the price of the other 10 cars. Is there a simple way to do this? I can always grab the sum of the top 5 via a pivot table - but the number of the other values will vary, I could have 10, 20 or 30 other cars. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

There could be a few things going on here, assuming your Pivot isn't creating a summary then:

What i'd do is go to the pivot source data, and add a rank column. Something like:

=IF(RANK(A1,$A$1:$A$6)<=5,"TOP 5","OTHER")

Where A1 is the value you want to rank, and $A$1:$A$6 are all the values.

Then just pivot it, with Rank column in the rows and values in the value section, the Pie of that should show what you want.



If this isn't down the right path, then please share an example of your source data. And what your Pivot looks like.
