SAP Dashboards 4.1 pie charts display wrong proportions

Former Member

I am building a dashboard in SAP Business Objects Dashboards 4.1 and I noticed that the pie charts sometimes display proportions incorrectly.  For example what should be a 50/50 pie chart looks more like 67/33.  I noticed that when you hover the cursor over the pie sections the count values display correctly, but the proportions are wrong (kind of weird). 

BTW - The chart is set to read data in rows (two cells) and it seems that when the data in the right-hand cell is 50% or more of the value in the left-hand cell the pie chart displays the proportion incorrectly.

Has anyone else encountered this?  If so, how did you correct it?

You are exactly correct, when you have 53 & 30 values it has the sum of 83, but pie always comprise the values to 100%. So it shows to 61.63% & 38.37%. In this case you need to explain the user about the chart behavior.
