Values less than or equal to percent-of-total shouldn't be summarised as Other gchart(pie)

Hello all,

is there any option to add to this code, so that small values are not summarised as other in my pie chart?

legend1 label=none
        shape=bar(4,1.5)
        position=(top left)
        offset=(5,)
        across=1
        mode=share;

proc gchart data=mydat;
    pie var1 / sumvar=cases
	            noheading
                     coutline=black
				value= inside
				slice=arrow
				percent=outside
				legend=legend1;
			
run;
quit;

Small values of variable CASES? Small pie slices? What is your definition of "small"?

@PaigeMiller Hi, I mean both situation, because small values of variable cases automatically draws small pie slices

You would have to filter the data before you create the PIE chart, so that PROC GCHART is not working on the full data set, but it is working on a data set where you have removed the small values and/or small slices.

Set OTHER=0 on the PIE statement.

Do you want small values to not be shown at all? Or do you want small values to stay in their own slices, rather than being summarized into the automatically generated 'Other' slice? (there are 2 answers above in previous comments - one for each of these scenarios)
