Highlighting One Slice of a Pie with Color in Excel 2007:-

Instead of exploding a slice of a pie, you can highlight that slice using a contrasting color. A single black pie slice in an otherwise white pie instantly draws the reader’s eye, as shown in the Figure (given below).



(You can plot one slice of the pie in a contrasting color to draw attention to that slice.)

To format the chart as shown in the above Figure, you follow these steps:

1. Click anywhere on the pie to select the entire pie.

2. On the Format ribbon, choose Shape Fill, White. The entire pie disappears.

3. On the Format ribbon, choose Shape Outline and then select black. The pie is now a white pie outlined in black.

4. Click the one pie slice that you want to highlight.

5. On the Format ribbon, choose Shape Fill and then select black. The single pie slice now stands out from the other slices.
