Thanks Daniel. I guess my question is, how do I reproduce the piechart that we got from the code for 'my' set of data which is, say, rent, fuel and dining expenses for months Jan to Apr? And then how do I show this chart in PowerPoint where I can hover over each 'slice' of the pie and see the pop up for rent expense etc., just like we can see in the sample pie chart how much of what kind of pizza we had?
On another note, the reason I'm interested in exploring google charts is that I think I will be able to create interactive dashboards in PowerPoint, where I change something through a filter and the google chart automatically shows analysis for that variable selected in the filter. Thanks. Any help in this regard would be great. Thank you.
