I've flat file like

Metal Percentage
iron 33
copper 52
gold 15

I tried creating a pie chart. Th flat file is read thru the output columns
tab of Edit data set dialog box. Then I gave the following values for the
fields :

Base series
Data Definitions : row["Percentage"]
Orthogonal series
Data Definitions : row["Metal"]

Am i correct with the procedure of creating a pie chart. If not pls
correct me

Thanks in advance

Hi Mugunth,

You have interverted the two series. The base series should be the metal,
and the orthogonal series the percentage. Orthogonal series must be
numerical. Note that since you are using a flat file datasource you need to
specify the column type in the second row, and set "Use second line as data
type indicator" in the datasource.

Metal Percentage
STRING INT
iron 33
copper 52
gold 15

Thanks,

David
