What is a Pie Chart?
The concept of a pie chart is the same for PowerPoint as for other tools and programs. A simple pie chart is a circular graph with different slices representing different data sets. These charts make it easier for the presenter to demonstrate complex data in more understandable ways.
The largest slice in the pie chart shows the most important data, while the smaller size of the slice shows the lower value. If you show a chart of the best add-ins for PowerPoint, you can make the top-rated add-in the biggest slice. The size of the slices will keep decreasing based on the reviews.
