Create a class to allow you to create simple pie charts. The chart has 3 simple properties - title, data range and slice to explode - and one method, print preview.

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

The aim of this exercise is to make it easier to create a pie chart, so that you can run the following code:

Sub CreateAndPrintPreviewPieChart()

'make sure on the right worksheet

Worksheets("Data").Select

'create a new pie chart

Dim p As New SimplePieChart

'say where data coming from

p.DataRange = "B4:F5"

'set the title

p.Title = "GDP per head ($)"

'explode third pie slice

p.DataPointToExplode = 3

'print preview this chart

p.PrintPreview

Set p = Nothing

End Sub

With classes it always helps to have the destination in mind

After running the code above, your final chart will look something like this:

This is a separate-sheet chart, with slice 3 exploded.

With all of this background, you're ready for the task! Create the class called SimplePieChart, and add the properties and methods necessary to get the above code to work.

Make full use of recording to get the right code in the first place.

When you have your code working, save this file as Pie Chart Class and close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
