    Hi Mark Jackson ,

     

    First of all great graphic! Its awesome!

     

    I was just wondering if you had any suggestions how to modify it, I've been trying to do it but can't.

     

    I have 2 sets of data:

    1. Actual 2016 and 2015 figures
    2. Projection/budget percentages for 2016

    In my data I use 2 simple formula to calculate the budget vs actual

    1. 2016 Budget = Sum(2015)*(Budget%+1)
    2. 2016 actual data = (if year =2016 then total volume else 0 end) (2015 works exactly the same)

    it works perfectly in a bar graph but I can't convert it into a pie chart because I can't get any color/field distinctions. I couldn't use the set idea you used because of the formulas and different data sets, wouldn't let me create one.

     

    Any suggestions on how I can split the colors so I can use your graphic?
