pie chart to show multilevel shareholder ownership
paarks Perhaps a donut like in the attached file? Personally, I don't like these types of charts. It becomes cluttered very easily and ofter too colourful. Removed all the colour to keep the formatting at a minimum.
Note that you have to express the holding of a sub-shareholder as a percentage of the total. So, when "a1" holds 50% of "a", which in turn holds 50% of the total, "a1's" share is 25% of the total.

Riny_van_Eekelen thank you so much for this guideline, I will try to work on this.
Anyway, you also mentioned that you don't like this kind of chart, maybe you have a better idea of what chart I should use to present this info. I totally welcome your advice, thanks in advance.
paarks Can't really think of an alternative. It's no more than personal dislike. Pie charts take a lot of space and are not very clear if you have more than four or five slices.
