Hi.

I think you will not have much luck on this. First, the pie charts in most of cases show "pies" partitioned in one piece for each serie, then you can not show the values in the center, cause they need to be close to the corresponding pieces of the pie. If there were just one value to show, a pie chart is not aplicable to your needs.

Second, I think Report Studio dont offer the posibility of adding shadow effects or something like that, but I'm not completly sure of this.

Well I can get close to what you are looking for...

One thing I am concerned with is for my Pies I am using a Ratio so it shows as an actual %
And each Pie is a different slice...

For example if I were to make this a Pie I could have My Ratio as my Measure and Segment as Slices.
This would give me a Single Pie with each slice a different value.

I decided instead of putting my Values as a Series I put them as a Category this gave me a different Pie with my Ratio for each listed.

I could not get the labels inside of the Pie and I could not get the drop shadows exactly like yours but I recommend you play with the different Charting options to find something that works for you.

If you aren't looking at a ratio but a Count lets say and want to display the % of each pie for the Master count - That I have no clue how to help.

Just make sure you disable the "Use Legacy chart authoring" button.

Oh I should point out - those are really different Segments but I redacted the names so I wouldn't have to go to legal for permission to post this 5 year old data...   ::)

Thanks for your prompt reply.But is there any work around to achieve what i need?????
Also i am using Categories in the pie chart not the slices as suggested in one of the post.
