Pie Slices

[Steve]

Windows 2000, Power Point and Excel 2003.

Tried and searched. Seems pretty simple, I would like to
do this in Excel and Powerpoint - charts in two different
files for different things, but same effect is needed.

Would like to Seperate Pie on a chart, slices but keep 3
together, 2 together in another group and 3 seperate.

Hi,

Exploding and grouping is not possible.

Jon Peltier has an article on pie chart which provides a work around.

In PowerPoint: first, save your file with all of the chart data intact
for future edits.

Right-click on the chart and select Grouping>Ungroup. When prompted
with the message asking if you want to convert the object, select Yes.
After converting, you'll need to ungroup again to select individual pie
slices. The chart is now converted to draw objects and no longer
associated with any data.

With the slices as separate objects, move them and group them however
you like. Save your file with a different name to prevent overwriting
your original data.

Julie typed the letters right out of my hands.
For Excel, copy the chart into PPT and do same.
Then copy back to Excel.
