Default pie chart data labels

I'm new to creating charts. I want to create a pie chart
with both percent and value data labels.

When you get to the third step of the chart wizard (XP), select the Data
labels tab and select both % and value check boxes. If you've already
created the pie chart, select the chart, go to Chart | Chart Options | Data
labels tab.

Default pie chart data labels

You can calculate the percentages on the worksheet, and use a formula to
create the labels. For example, with the following data in in A1:B3 --

Jan 25
Feb 25
Mar 50

Enter the following formula in cell C1, and copy down to C3:
=B1/SUM($B$1:$B$3)

To calculate the text for the pie chart labels, enter the following
formula in cell D1, and copy down to D3:
=B1 & " " & TEXT(C1,"0%")

When you create the pie chart, in step 2 of the Chart Wizard, click on
the Series tab. Click in the Category Labels box, and then select cells
D13 on the worksheet.

In step 3, choose Show Label on the Data Labels tab.
