   Depending on your browser, you might need to click OK to save the file.

3. If needed, click Enable Editing.

   The chart shows which volumes have the largest available space. The chart appears on the data sheet.

   Note

   Depending on your network configuration, selecting the entire columns or too many data rows might make your pie chart unreadable. This sample uses the 3-D pie chart, but you can use any chart type. Use the chart that best displays the data you want to capture.
