microsoft excel docs

This can be very useful to illustrate comparisons.
Suppose you have a Pie Chart which has a radius of 6cm which represents a total of 140.
What is the radius of a Pie Chart be that represents a total of 240.
The following relation / equation is true where r is the radius of the larger circle.

microsoft excel docs

Once you know the size of the radius you can use a few lines of VBA code to change the diameter of the second pie chart.


Public Sub ResizePieChart() 
Dim dbdiameter As Long
   dbdiameter = InputBox("Please enter the diameter of the pie chart (in points) :")
   ActiveChart.PlotArea.Width = dbdiameter
End Sub

If you need to convert between Inches and Points you can use the Application.InchesToPoints() function.
