Point labels on Pie chart

I have a pie chart and have tried every option I could find on the Data tab for the point labels. They bunch up all over the place. What am I missing?

Does Dundas do this better?

What do you mean "they bunch up all over the place" ? Have you tried an exploded Pie chart?

Edit: Also, on the data tab, click edit on your value. On the point labels tab, you can change the position and font size of the labels.

Yes I have tried exploded pie charts.

By bunch up I mean that the labels overlap one another and are completly un-readable. This happens particularily with the sections that are small pieces of the pie.

Adam Tappis could let you know if Dundas handles it better. I know he uses it.

By the way, SQL 2008 will come packaged with Dundas technology.

Have you made sure that the point labels are outside the Pie graph rather than inside it?

Also when I want to maximise space I choose the donut instead of pie
