How to Show Percentage Values in a Pie Chart in Bold Reports

Published:
Updated:

In Bold Reports, you can display the percentage values in a pie chart report item. By default, pie charts in Bold Reports do not show percentage values. However, you can enable the “Show Data Label” property and set the format to “#PERCENT” to display the percentage values in the pie chart. This feature is particularly useful when comparing different data sets using pie charts, as it allows users to easily see the proportion of each data point relation to the total.

  2. Once the data has been provided for the pie chart report item, navigate to the “Choose Series” section in the Properties pane and click the “Edit” button.
