Are you tired of boring presentations with plain, static data? Spice things up with a visually appealing 3D pie chart in Google Sheets! This chart type is not only eye-catching but also allows you to beautifully visualize your data.
Types of Pie Charts in Google Sheets
Google Sheets offers four different types of pie charts to help you visualize your data effectively:
- Pie Chart
- 3D Pie Chart

All four pie charts are similar in nature, but the Doughnut Chart stands out with its characteristic central hole.
What is a Pie Chart?
Pie charts are ideal for showcasing proportions of a whole. If you’re uncertain about which chart type to use for your data, don’t fret. We have a comprehensive chart selection tutorial on our website to guide you.
How to Create a 3D Pie Chart in Google Sheets
Let’s dive right into creating a stunning 3D pie chart in Google Sheets. For this tutorial, we’ll use data on the proportion of first languages spoken in India. India, being a country with diverse languages and customs, makes for an interesting dataset to work with.
Before we proceed, here’s a tip: You can utilize the IMPORTHTML function to import tables from webpages and create charts. We have a detailed tutorial on how to import tables from web pages, specifically for GEO charts, on our website.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Select the entire data range, including the column label (from range “A1:B13”).
- Navigate to the Insert menu and select Chart.
- A chart will be inserted, but it may not be the desired type. To set it as a 3D pie chart, click on the Chart Editor and choose the third chart option, which represents the 3D Pie Chart.
- Alternatively, you can also select a Doughnut Chart or Simple Pie Chart from the Chart Editor. So whether you’re looking to create a simple pie chart, a doughnut pie chart, or seek tips for creating a 3D pie chart or a 3D doughnut pie chart, this tutorial has got you covered!
- Once you’ve selected the chart type, your chart will automatically be visualized. Voila! Your finished 3D pie chart will look something like the image below.
Feel free to explore the customization options in the chart editor to change the color scheme or add labels to your pie chart.
