Pie Chart does not appear after selecting data field
Occasional User of Excel. Trying to plot church budget with a pie chart. Six categories totaling 100%. When I highlight data field and select "pie chart', chart does not appear in display field (blank field). Switching to "bar chart", everything works fine. Is there some setting that I need to toggle or specify? Thanks.
Option 1 Worked great! No other issues.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to respond on my iPhone but got error message. Forgot to mention that I am using Excel 2016. Thank you.

Hi,
the sheet you have sent is empty!
Not sure what happened with file. When I opened file just now, data is there.
Can we try one more time? I appreciate your patience.

James, could you attach sample file with non-sensitive data?
SergeiBaklan I was having the same problem and it wasn't just the pie chart it was all the charts that I clicked on would not populate an image on the screen. I am a student and was doing a homework assignment in my Simnet e-line book and it wouldn't let me continue with any further questions until I completed that one.
I was getting impatient and frustrated and so I thought well maybe I should scroll down and see if it is showing up below and there is was. I don't know how I rearranged the charts to show up beneath the chart list but somehow I did.
I hope this helps someone in the future.
Not sure I understand your issue, but glad to know you sorted it somehow out. For future, if any question, it helps if you mention on which Excel platform/version you are, and illustrate an issue if not with sample file (preferable) but with screenshot.
