Let's say this is the data you're starting with. There's a bit of data manipulation to do before we create the chart.

Add a column call led "% of 360’, dividing the sector weight by the sum of all sector weights. hip superuser com/quesvonsi687036MNoW-to-make-a-pe-radarchart2anan01s Imlcroso excel - How to make aPleradar chart - Super User =€2/SUM($C52:5¢89) Next we need to calculate the start and end angles that each sector covers, Add a 'Start Angle’ column. In the top row enter 0, then for each row below reference the cell above, In a'Finish Angle’ column multiply the cumulutive figure for '% of 360' by 360. x i a= 1 category Value Sector Weight 60 360° Start Angle Finish Angle 2 EXERCISE, 4 1 =C2/SUM(SCS2:SCS3) 0 =360°SUM(S0$2:02) 2.

Let’s extend our table, with a column for each angle (shaded grey in my example). For each cell, add some logic that checks whether the angle for that column is covered by the Start/Final Angles - and if so return the value for that row.

Set the horizontal category axis labels to be your chart labels (62:69). Change the chart type for this new series to a pie chart, Remove the fill for the pie segments and add black borders. Add data labels for the pie series, selecting the Category Name instead of Value and setting the position to Outside End. work EXERCISE creaniviny/ SOCIAL LIFE GREE FAMILY LEARNING VOLUNTEERING PARTNER /contmuniy EDIT (Sep 30 2014): The workbook is available for download here as requested by Fires. hip superuser com/quesvonsi687036MNoW-to-make-a-pe-radarchartparianos Imrosoft excl - How to make a Pe radar chart - Super User EDIT 2 (Mar 25 2015): Nihajlo has pointed out that this technique can be improved slightly: The graph ends up with a slight shift counterclockwise (as seen on the last graph above with red having a gap at the vertical, but covering the boundary at 300 degrees). This is due to spider chart always being one behind (i.e. 1 degree is plotted at 2, 2 at 3 and so on), A quick fix to this is to change the formula for finish angle (F2) from =36e*su¢$0$2:02) to =3605UM($0$2:02)+1 and change the formula for the first point of the last series to be the same as the last point of the last series (in the above example make cell H9 formula to be D9, edited Mar 25 at 9:50 answored Dec 11'13 at 18:14 Andi Mohr 2315 1 13° 32 Link only answers aren't good answers.

The problem with link-only answers is, that inks can disappear/change in future which will make the complete answer useless. — nixda Dec 11 13 at 19:07 Excellent solution Andi.
