Create a Pie Chart in Tableau

A pie chart, also known as a pie graph or circle graph, is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions. Each slice represents a category and its size visually represents an item’s proportion to the total. Here’s an example:

Suppose we want to show the distribution of favorite sports among a group of 100 students:

  • Cricket: 45 students
  • Football: 25 students
  • Hockey: 15 students
  • Tennis: 15 students

The pie chart would have:

  • A circle representing the total (100 students)
  • Slices representing each sport, with sizes proportional to the number of students

Let us see an example to create a Pie Chart in Tableau:

We have created a new sheet and named it Pie Chart in our Amit_Tableau.twb Tableau project.

To create a pie chart in Tableau, let us use a Dimension and a Measure. Drag the fields to the respective pane in the Marks card:

  1. Segment dimension: Drag to the Color and Label pane under Marks card
  2. Profit measureDrag to the Size under the Marks card
