Use pie and donut charts to compare portions (read more about chart types).
To select data for a pie chart:
-
Create a new report or edit an existing pie or donut chart.
Note: If you're interested in seeing only a specific subset of records, you should also set your matching criteria prior to following the steps below. -
Within the Series section, select a field whose values you want display.
-
Tell Quickbase how to group the data from that field using the Group By option.
Use this dropdown to display data in intervals or set amounts. For example, if your chart features a numeric field, you can show amounts in groups of fives, tens, or hundreds.
Note: After you select the field whose values you want to appear as wedges on your chart, Quickbase displays these values in the Report Builder's Legend box, which shows you what values will eventually display. If you want to customize the colors for these values, select a color swatch to display the color chooser. -
Select the data you want to show.
Use the Data values section to select your measure. For example, you might measure a salesperson's contribution by number of sales or dollar amounts. The field you choose here contains the numbers that determine the size of each wedge. -
Use the Sorting section to decide how to sort your chart.
-
Once you've configured all the data options outlined above, return to the creating a chart topic and read how to finish the job.
Example
The first image below shows the setup for a pie chart. The field selected in the Series dropdown contains the values that display in the Legend. Values in the legend are those that will appear on your final chart (shown in the second image below).
