I’m Stuck. Bankers, Do you do the Powerpointz?

Guys, this is for work, NOT school, and it’s due Monday, but I’m stuck.

I need to make a broken-apart pie chart with 6 slices. Easy. But I also need to pair-up the 6 slices into 3 pairs of 2 slices. Think of a pie with three pulled-apart slices, each of which is divided in half by a line.

In other words, each of the 3 larger slices must be pulled apart from each other, creating white space in between them. But WITHIN each of those 3 larger slices, the 2 smaller paired slices must be adjacent, separated by a black line, and they must have different colors and their own data (e.g. “Industrials: 14%”).

How can I do this? Pleeease help!

Ask a banker friend if he can submit it to his computer graphics department. For all stuff that's way over our heads, we defer to them.

 

Banking 101 -- when your MD wants you to make a chart type that doesn't exist, you just totally fake it using normal objects. This generally works until the MD thinks it is a normal chart and starts requesting it regularly or wants to "enlarge" the chart which totally screws up everything.

Yeah, be careful. I did something similar for our annual LP presentation. I essentially built all these objects using shapes in Excel and then just copied and pasted them over to the PP I was building. The bosses were rather impressed...I never told them how I did it. Lucky for me it's an annual presentation, lol.

yep, this usually works, but it is annoying when you have to remake it.

 

I'm only familiar with being able to break down one of the 3 further, I don't think you can break down all three.

You give me a gift? *BAM* Thank you note! You invite me somewhere? *POW* RSVP! You do me a favor? *WHAM* Favor returned! Do not test my politeness.
