How to create a pie chart based on a subset of a larger file

Dear Smartsheet community members,

I need some help in figuring out how to create a pie chart based on a subset of data, which will keep being updated over time. The source document has about 200 lines overall (as an example), and from these 200 lines, I want to be able to capture how many are "aligned" with our processes. For that purpose, I have an additional column in this source document with a drop down menu: "aligned" - Y or N. I would like to find a way to capture just the "aligned" lines as being the "100%" of my pie chart, and then capture how many of these "aligned" have been reached out in each quarter.

My main question is how can I capture the "aligned" as being the 100% of the pie chart taking into account that the number of "aligned" will keep changing, and how to capture the percentage from the aligned that have been reached out in each quarter. Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated, I've been going around in circles trying to figure out how to capture this, but all formulas and summary tables I try to use keep assuming the 100% as being the 200 lines from the original source file, and not just the ones showing as aligned. This allows me to understand how many of the 200 original lines have been reached out in each quarter, and how many of the reachouts have been done for aligned and not aligned, but what I really wanted to capture is how many within the aligned (only) have been reached out in each quarter. I hope this is not too confusing, but any help or tips would be deeply appreciated. Many thanks.
