Legend in Pie Charts

in Charting

Hi,

It seems that something recently changed so my pie charts are displaying the total on the side and in the summary number as well.

The graph on the left is how I am trying to get it to look but I cannot figure out why the graphs on the right are showing the total in the chart.

Was this a recent change? Any suggestions on how I take this 2nd version of 'total' out?

    The Total is your "Hover Legend". When you're not hovering, it shows the total, when you are, it gives details around the slice you're hovering over. You can choose the option to hide the hover legend to remove it.


    The reason it's showing in the graphs on the right but not the left is they are sized a little smaller. A graph has to be a minimum size and width for the hover legend to display.

    In the properties under Hover Legend you can check the box to hide the legend to remove the totals on the right hand side.
