Instructions for Pie Chart Visualization (Excel)
- Paste to Excel: Use the table above.
- Select Data: Highlight the Category column and the Actual Spent column (do not include the "TOTAL" row).
- Insert Chart:
- Go to the Insert tab in the Excel ribbon.
- Click the Charts group and select Pie Chart (2D Pie is recommended for clarity).
- Data Aggregation: If you want a more accurate pie chart, create a secondary "Summary Table" in Excel using the
=SUMIF()function to group items by their Category (Fixed, Variable, Savings) to ensure the pie slices represent broader financial buckets rather than granular line items. - Dynamic Updates: As you update the "Actual Spent" column, the Pie Chart will automatically update if it is linked to the table range.
