    Chart Fill Effect Transparency Disabled

    I am trying to format the Chart Area to get the transparent fill effect.

    When I go to format chart area - Pattern => Area => Fill Effects and Gradient.

    The transparency options are disabled. How to enable them?

    I have attached the screenshot.

    Re: Chart Fill Effect Transparency Disabled

    Hi, as far as I know, transparency cannot be set on all elements of the chart. Unfortunately the option does show whenever you select fill effects, but it is only active for those that can be set. Frustrating, I know....

    Avoid pie charts with more than two data points. Why? See here (pdf, 559 kb). The only acceptable pie chart is here.
