Describe a Pie Chart
About the analysis
This out-of-the-box narrative app generates a narrative that describes a pie chart and highlights statistically relevant insights from the underlying data to explain the chart in more detail.
Details covered in the analysis
The length of the narrative and the level of detail the narrative contains depend on which narrative length option is selected in Step 3 of the wizard. The narrative includes some or all of the following:

Note
Dates are always reported using the formal American written format. For example, "January 1, 2021".
