Providing Data

The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Pie dashboard item to data in the Designer.

Binding to Data in the Designer

The image below shows a sample Pie dashboard item that is bound to data.

To bind the Pie dashboard item to data, drag and drop a data source field to a placeholder contained in one of the available data sections. A table below lists and describes Pie's data sections.

Section	Description
Values	Contains data items that define the share of pie segments. In case of negative measure values, Pie uses their absolute values.
Arguments	Contains data items that provide values used to label pie segments.
Series	Contains data items whose values are used to label pie charts.

Transposing Arguments and Series

The Pie dashboard item provides the capability to transpose pie arguments and series. In this case, data items contained in the Arguments section are moved to the Series section, and vice versa.

To transpose the selected Pie dashboard item, use the Transpose button in the Home ribbon tab.
