Compare Contributions to a Total with Pie Charts

Compare how individual values contribute to a total in a Tableau Next pie chart. Use pie charts when you want to analyze a small number of values that together make up an aggregate. For example, visualize website visits by traffic source to understand how each source contributes to total website traffic.
