Packages like MS Excel supports developing charts (Pie, bar etc.) with minimum effort. Charts help to quickly understand the relationships between data and analyzing them. Pie Charts are good when we are showing the relative portion of numbers that add up to a total. They are good for a single series of data. They are not good when there are too many small size data.

Bar charts can also be used for comparing two set of proportions.
