when making a pie chart how do I change the amount of cells

I am making a 3D pie chart with numbers on my mac. The pie chart is divided up into 6 sections as per the default that comes up. I only need 5, How do I remove one???

How do I remove this outer line from my charts? I'm using Numbers and Keynote for a presentation I have coming up soon, and every single one of my charts has this thin line around the outside. I cannot figure out how to remove it! I am aware that when you open up the format pane in Numbers, there is a section under the Chart tab titled "Background and Border Style" but change that will only change the board around the chart itself and not around the entire thing. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!

Any chance we can get the Radar chart back in Numbers? I have the latest Numbers installed, and when I go to add a Radar (spider) chart the option is not in the 2D or 3D chart sets. The online help shows where it would be, but it isn't there on my machine. Any chance we can get this basic feature back in Numbers? I checked both the in app Chart and the Menu (Insert.Chart.type) and it isn't in either Thanks!

Can you delete the value labels in a chart? MacOS 10.14.4 Pages 8.0 I am trying to make a chart, but I don't want the Y-axis value labels to appear on the chart (the numbers are completely arbitrary, and all I'm trying to show is a general trend). I can reduce it down to one number (the highest) but I can't delete or hide that number. Double-clicking the value labels and pressing delete does nothing. The background is not a solid color so changing the color of the text cannot hide the value. Currently the workaround is to duplicate background, bring it to the front and crop it over the one value I want hidden. But that seems like a lot of work for something so simple sounding as deleting the value label. Any other thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

Your chart will contain as many sections as you have selected cells containing the data.

Categories (5) are listed in column A (a Header column).

Data for each category are listed in column B (a non-header column).

Hi shag.jr,

What does your data table contain?

A picture (screen shot) will paint a thousand words.

Ian.
