    Pie chart data labels

    I need to add the number of each item to the end of the label for each segment

    e.g. I have a pie chart consisting of:

    3 sheep
    2 pigs
    1 chicken

    I need the pie chart labels to show the numbers, so appear as

    sheep (3)
    pigs (2)
    chicken (1)

    rather than just

    sheep
    pigs
    chicken


    There must be a way of doing this without having to do it manually?

    Thanks!

    Hello
    Check Label Options to Category Name and Value. Space Separator and then custom Number format:

    That should do it.

    Thanks! This places the number inside the actual chart itself, is there any way to have it appear in the labels in the legend?

    From your post title I assumed you meant the chart data labels. If you want the legend to have the numerical values then you'll probably have to concatenate the categories with their values and use those as the categories for the chart. For example:

    Formula: copy to clipboard

    If the category was in A2 and the value in B2. Copy down for the other categories and values.
