if you have a lot of items to visualize in a pie chart, it would be useful to group under a 'other' slice all the slices that have a percentage value under a specified threshold. the chart will definitely look less messy

RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
This is an Excellent Idea, I came to add it, but I'm glad someone already has!
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
This feature would also be nice in the Treemap visual!
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
Salesforce does this with no problem, using a "Max Number of Groups" and it groups the smallest values into its own "other" bucket. This is needed ASAP
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
Should be included asap.
Pie charts with 100+ tiny slices look realy bad
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
Our customers can't understand why this is not some native feature. And we do agree at BI dept.
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
yes, I've got 100s of pie slices & it would be some much easier to show the top 5 & group everything else into "other"
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
would love to see this feature added
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
Please, please, please.... we need this. Creating a measure to accomplish basic need is killing performance. Salesforce report builder has a check box to group smaller slices! Microsoft we need this!
RE: 'grouping tiny slices in pie chart
This could easily be used in other visualizations including bar charts, highly agree!

There are other registered ideas that are almost the same as this one. This uncontrolled idea submitting option is not efficient. I think this is a really important feature but because of the inefficient registration does not get the votes it deserves (now its fragmented).
I think you should combine this idea with TOP X functionality. I wrote before:
Another suggestion addition to this: the option to make an "other" category. So lets say you want a top 5, you also get the option for a 6th record that summarizes all other categories into 1 "other" category. That way you can better see the composition / distribution of the data.
