Hi All,

I tried adding some pie charts to a dashboard today, and unfortunately the values are unreadable as the numbers overlap for small segments of the pie.

Is this specific problem one that you've encountered before? Any known workarounds?

Best,
Max

    Hello @mmark

    I suggest using a bar or column chart instead of a pie chart, as it will make the category values more readable for the end user.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the response che! I certainly could produce a bar chart; however, this data sample is exactly what a pie chart is intended for. I'm looking to show a visual representation of the segments of a whole audience that represent these different groups. Is the consensus that SmartSheet just doesn't produce legible pie charts for sets that include small-ish segments?
