SUMMARY
Pie charts show the relationship or proportions of the parts to the whole.
This chart type is useful for emphasizing a significant element. Normally,
a pie chart always contains one data series. If you select more than one
data series when you create a pie chart, only one data series will be
displayed. It is possible, however, to specify a two-series pie chart by
defining the chart as a combination chart. By defining the chart as a
combination chart, two separate charts are created and can be formatted
separately. Both the main and the overlay charts will be formatted as pie
charts.
