How to Use Microsoft Excel 3

1. Enter two columns of data in an Excel spreadsheet. The first column contains data labels for the pie chart; the second column contains the proportions, which can be expressed as percentages or real numbers. In the latter case, Excel will calculate the percentages to build the pie chart.
2. Highlight the cells, excluding the total row, if you have one.
3. Click the 'Insert' tab.
4. Choose 'Pie' and select one of the 3-D pie charts from the drop-down menu to insert a chart based on that model into your spreadsheet.
5. Adjust the size of the pie chart and use the 'Chart Tools Design' tab options to change its look.
6. Click the drop-down menu labeled 'Chart Area' in the 'Chart Tools Layout' tab, and use the 'Chart Title' and 'Legend' items to add or edit a title or legend for the 3-D pie chart.
7. Right-click on the pie chart and choose '3D Rotation' to adjust the depth, perspective and other visual elements having to do with the 3-D look of the chart.
