  1. Add a Button control, and set its OnSelect property to this formula:
    Collect(Revenue2015, {Product:"Europa", Revenue:27000}, {Product:"Ganymede", Revenue:26300}, {Product:"Callisto", Revenue:29200})

Accessibility guidelines

Color contrast

There must be adequate color contrast between:

  • each item in ItemColorSet
  • every item in ItemColorSet and the background color
  • Color and the background color

Screen reader support

  • There must be a Label immediately before the chart graphic to serve as the title.

    Note

    Chart graphics and Legend are hidden from screen reader users. As an alternative, a tabular form of the data is presented to them. They can also cycle through buttons that select data in the chart.

Low vision support

  • There must be a Legend.
  • Consider setting ShowLabels to true. This helps low-vision users quickly determine what each pie slice represents.
  • Consider setting LabelPosition to LabelPosition.Outside. This increases legibility of labels because of a more consistent color contrast.

Keyboard support

  • TabIndex must be zero or greater so that keyboard users can navigate to it.

    Note

    When keyboard users navigate to the chart, they can cycle through buttons that select data in the chart.
