Pie Chart and Column Chart Challenge

Hi:

I have two questions on Pivot Charts. I am creating two single summary charts (1) an Exploding Pie Chart and (2) a column chart. Both are using the same date but displaying information at different levels. The Pie chart shows 3 slices with Percentages next to each color and a legend of what the three slices represents. Because there are only three slices, I would like to place the legend information, next to the appropriate slice (slanted) with the percentages inside the pie. How can I do this? I am attaching the source.

The second chart, a column chart, shows the counts at the next level (the level below the pie chart level). It excludes the level shown in the pie chart. I would like to use the same colors, shown in the pie chart, to identify each of the columns on this chart. Basically grouping each of the towers in their appropriate color group as is shown in the Pie Chart.

The attachment will make it clearer. Thanks.

Hi
For the pie chart, simply right click in the pie chart and select 'format data labels'. Then you select 'Category Name'

I am not sure how to connect the colors. If this is your complete dataset, then I would manually change the colors to match the pie chart.

Thanks Jacob:

I was looking for something more like the attached. Is this possible?

Not unless you add Text boxes manually.

Only other option I can think of is to combine Percentage with Category names (Label Options, check both Category Name & Percentage).
