Hi all,
I have a simple but very annoying problem:

Let's say you have a pie chart linked to a 2 cols/5 rows array.
I display the labels, the % and the value for each part of the pie.

My problem is the following:
Each time the data are updated, the pie is rebuilt but the labels ar
sometime out of the windows, sometime one on the other... in one word
unreadable...

So my question is the following : is there any way of "automati
readable arrangement" option in excel ?????


Thanks to all

If you want the labels to behave better (they will still be unruly), don't readjust
their position by dragging them around. Double click the labels, then on the
Alignment tab, choose one of the settings for Position; probably Outside End or Best
Fit work best, but don't assume "Best Fit" means it will be perfect. Then don't
resize the chart so the pie gets too close to the edges of the chart, so there's
always room for a label.
