Ever wanted to display a list status results in a pie chart withou using Excel? Read below and see how simple it is. If you have any questions, please email me.

• Create a list (task list or custom list)
• Create a document library and title it jquery
• Download the jquery.js file from the JQuery site – click HERE
• Upload the file to your jquery folder - Rename the file to jquery.js (remove the version)
• Create a new web part page
• Add the list you created and then group it by a column (the pie chart will only work with grouped views)
• Add a Content Editor Web Part to the page
• Click Source Editor and past the following code (the code has taken from EndUserSharePoint.com site:

• <div id="jLoadMe" class="content"><strong>Pie Chart Using Google Charting API</strong></div>

  <script type="text/javascript">

  if(typeof jQuery=="undefined"){

              var jQPath="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/";

              document.write("<script src='",jQPath,"jquery.js' type='text/javascript'><\/script>");

  }

  </script>

   

  <script

  type="text/javascript">

  $("document").ready(function(){

              var arrayList=$("td.ms-gb:contains(':')");

              var coord= new Array();

              var labels= new Array();

              $.each(arrayList, function(i,e)

              {

                                   var MyIf= $(e).text();

                                   var txt= MyIf.substring(MyIf.indexOf('(')+1,MyIf.length-1); // Extract the 'Y' coordinates

                                   coord[i]=txt;

                                   var txt1= MyIf.substring(MyIf.indexOf(':')+2,MyIf.indexOf("(")-1); // Extract the labels

                                   labels[i]=txt1+"("+txt+")";   //add also coordinates for better read

              });

              var txt= coord.join(",");

              var txt1= labels.join("|");

              // Adjust Chart Properties below - See Google Charts API for reference

              var vinc= "<IMG src='http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=750x200&chd=t:"+txt+"&chl="+txt1+"'/>";

              $("#jLoadMe").append("<p>"+vinc+"</p>")

  });

   

  </script>

• Look for var jQPath="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/"; line. Replace the link to where your jquery file is located. Ex http://mysite.com/jquery/
• You’re done

I get tired of running into this when I have to go on a trip where I need a rental car. Do these rental places reserve the big body SUVs or luxury cars for VIPs only? Every time I go, they seem to stick me with something ridiculous like a Mitsubishi Lancer (NO not the Evo type either!) or other compact car that appears extra small.
