2. Qlik Sense Pie Chart<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have used pie charts quite a lot of time as they are the most basic form of representing data showing the relationship between different data information. The pie chart is divided into sections like pieces of pie corresponding to the proportion of that data value, i.e. larger the value, bigger the section of the pie chart. It shows the individual share of data in relation to the whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. When to Use a Qlik Sense Pie Chart? <\/span><\/h2>\n

In Qlik Sense or in any BI tool, the most ideal scenarios to use a pie chart in are when you want to compare two aspects of an information or see the contribution of different elements in a scenario. Pie Charts are widely used in data analysis where there are sub-categories to a category like several countries in the category \u2018Region\u2019, or types of products in the category \u2018Electronics\u2019. Pie charts are ideally used for comparing sectors or parts to the whole by graphical representation.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Advantages & Disadvantages of Pie Chart<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are several advantages and disadvantages of pie charts. Like one major benefit is that a pie chart can efficiently and instantly provide the visual of data information being divided into sectors proportionately. But, the visual efficiency of a pie chart remains intact only till when you use 10 or lesser dimensions which makes sectors of the pie. If the number of dimensions goes more than 10 then the visual gets messy and difficult to understand. Another issue that comes with using pie charts is that it takes up a lot of space on the sheet and so, is difficult to use when a compact visualization is needed. <\/span><\/p>\n
