Tick Marks for Labels

[Guest]

How can I create tick marks on my labels in my Doughnut Charts to distinguish
which labels belong to what category. IE: I need a line connecting my data
label to individual categories. Any suggestions?

Double click on the pie, click on the Data Labels tab, and check the box for
Show leader lines.

I also having trouble with "leader lines" Only 2 or 3 show up. Seems
random as to which ones it picks.. Any way to get all or most with leader
lines showing up..
Thank You in advance either yes or no..

If Excel can place the label "close enough" to the data point, it decides
not to draw the leader line. If you drag the label away from the point, the
leader line should appear.
