This is because you can only show one "data set" pertaining to one, individual "whole"
at a time with any one pie chart. Here are the statistical preferences according to
company:
Company A:
50 percent blue, 30 percent red, 10 percent yellow, 10 percent turquoise
Company B:
20 percent blue, 20 percent red, 20 percent yellow, 40 percent turquoise
Company C:
65 percent blue, 5 percent red, 15 percent yellow, 20 percent turquoise
Now, you want to visually represent all this information (all the different color
preferences) while illustrating that you polled different companies and that different
companies had different percentages. While you could utilize ratios and add the
various company percentages together and then create one pie chart that represents
the color preferences of Company A, Company B, and Company C, you cannot
differentiate between the percentages according to company on one chart.
Consequently, here is how you would have to present the information utilizing pie
charts:
Company A's Favorite Colors
10%
Blue
10% Red
50% Yellow
30% Turquoise
Company B's Favorite Colors Company C's Favorite Colors
