This section shows how to create a Tableau Pie chart using multiple measures with an example. Generally, we use a pie chart to display region-wise sales, category sales, etc. However, we can create a pie chart where each slice represents a measure (sales, actual cost, dealer price, etc.).
Create a Tableau Pie Chart Using Multiple Measures
To create a Pie chart using Multiple Measures, drag and drop Measure Names to the Columns shelf and Measure Values to the Rows shelf. The desktop will automatically create a bar chart with all the available Measures.
If you observe the chart screenshot below, you can see that all the numeric fields with the # symbol are available in the report section. Please visit the Tableau Charts and Tableau Pie Chart articles on the Tableau tutorial page for better understanding.
As there is no balance between the data, let me remove the Yearly Income, Count of Custom SQL Query, and order Quantity by simply dragging them Measure Values. Otherwise, select them and click the Exclude button to filter them. Next, drag the Measure Names field from the Columns shelf to the Color Shelf.
Next, drag Measure Values from the Rows shelf to the Size Shelf. It automatically converts the chart to a Tableau Treemap. Please change the Marks from Automatic to Pie chart.
You can see the Tableau Pie chart using Multiple Measures, so let me add the data labels.
Use the control button to select the Measure Names and Measure Values in the Color and Size shelf and drag them to the Label shelf. The screenshot below shows the data labels. Refer to the Add data labels inside Tableau pie chart article.
