I have four numeric variables I want to plot on a pie chart, but it only shows the first variable – the pie is one big red circle. What am I doing wrong?
There are two things you need to make sure of when using variables to plot your pie graph: Firstly, make sure you have filled in the Point Name and Point Number for each variable on the X-Axis Tab of the Set Window – note that this is NOT the main X-Axis Tab. Because you are using variables, and since these tend to be single-valued, Insight does not know which point on the x-axis to plot the value in the variable for. For the first variable you can fill in 1, for the second 2, and so on. Then you must also make sure Insight knows that all the values in these variables belong to the same set – by design, a pie graph consists of slices that are points belonging to a single set. To do this, for each variable go to the Advanced Tab of the Set Window (make sure the Template Level is set to Advanced on the global extension), click Override Set Number, and fill in 1.
