How to Rotate a Pie Chart in Excel

1. Open the Excel worksheet containing the pie chart you wish to rotate.
2. Click on the pie chart. Doing so will display the 'Chart Tools' menu at the top of the Excel window. Within this menu you will see tabs labeled 'Design,' 'Layout' and 'Format.'
3. Select the 'Format' tab. Navigate to the 'Current Selection' group. Locate the 'Chart Elements' box and click on the arrow next to it. Click on the desired data point or series.
4. Return to the 'Format' tab. Select 'Format Selection' from the 'Current Selection' group.
5. Locate the 'Angle of First Slice' box. Move the slider to the position corresponding to the desired degree of rotation. Alternatively, indicate the angle at which you wish the first slice to appear by entering a value between zero and 360.
