How To Make A Pie Chart

Transcript of my interview with Tim Pawlenty (June 2011)

The transcript of my June 28, 2011, interview with former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty in Atlanta :

Q: Being here in Georgia today and Florida tomorrow, I’m reminded a few years ago the Republican Party was described as a regional party, confined to the South, after the Obama election. Last year’s midterms proved otherwise, I think, and most of the candidates getting publicity right now are not from the South. But there are some differences, and I’m curious how you go about selling conservatism here versus other parts of the country, whether you have different approaches?

A: When I think about what’s important to conservatives in Georgia, I can’t find any differences between what’s conservative [here] and conservatives elsewhere. If you look at my record on taxes, on spending, on schools, on health care, on public employee benefits, on right to work, on traditional family issues, and on down the list, I’m in line with all that. And so to the extent people think there’s a big difference between conservatives in other parts of the country, there might be in some cases, but in my case I don’t think that’s true.

Q: Do you have to tone it down elsewhere and ramp it up here?

A: (Laughs.) No, I think you gotta be who you are, no matter where you are, and I think that you have to be true to yourself, true to your cause — it doesn’t mean you can’t vary your style a little bit, but you know, you gotta be true and authentic regardless of your location. And that’s because your compass settings aren’t based on the ZIP code [you happen to be in], they’re based on what you believe and why you believe it…

Q: The speech [you gave June 7] at the University of Chicago — I’ve read through that, and I think it was a really interesting speech, and you had a quote in there, “The tax code is littered with special interest handouts, carve-outs, subsidies and loopholes. That should be eliminated.” Do you get any pushback from people in the Republican Party who say, well, that amounts to a tax increase? How do you deal with that?

A: No — if you do it the right way. Even the most ardent defenders of a no-new-taxes position define that not as, ‘You can’t make any changes in the tax code,’ but [that] as you make those changes, then you do so in a decrease, or no net increase in revenues to the government. So even — I don’t want to speak for him, but for example — Grover Norquist has always defined a tax increase not as, change this category, change that category, but when you’re done with all that, does it result in a net decrease or a net increase. And our plan in that regard is designed to reduce taxes by a net measurement, not increase them.

Microsoft Training: How To Create A Multiple Pie Chart In Excel

If you've created pie charts in Excel you'll have found them very straightforward to build and easy to understand. However pie charts as you know only show one set of numbers at a time. In this article we'll look at how to create a pie chart surrounded by several smaller pies, so several sets of data can be shown at the same time. The separate pies can then be grouped together to form a single item, our multiple pie.
