Pie chart only have Y max used from each series - how?

[Neil Thorley]

Hi, I have 3 or 4 series which are fine in column and line graphs. But when I move to pie chart its unusable so I want to just use Ymax value from the series so I only have 3 or 4 segments. The last Y value in the series is the max but I cant work out how to just have this in the series or tell pie chart to just display max or last datapoint. When the user moves to line/column the series is reloaded. Any advice please?

HI, I have tried 2 things from searching around so far.
1 - Find max approach from each series and then clear and try and add that value into an empty series - Error you can only add 1 value to a series - (i am only adding 1)

      MaxPoint = TechAnalTopLeftGraph.Series(0).Points.FindMaxByValue()
                TechAnalTopLeftGraph.Series(0).Points.Clear()
                TechAnalTopLeftGraph.Series(0).Points.AddXY(MaxPoint)

2 - Try and just load in the row with the value but this doesnt display anything but no errors reported

            sub_range = Int(ASB_Tech_Anal_Inf_Delay_Time.Text) + 1
            'range_holder = "Select * from [Delay$A1" & ":j" & sub_range & "]"
            range_holder = "Select * from [Delay$A121:j121]"

            ' The code to follow uses a SQL SELECT command to display the data from the worksheet.
            ' Create new OleDbCommand to return data from worksheet.
            ' change range 
            'Dim myCommand As New OleDbCommand("Select * From [Edit$h1:u601]", myConnection)

            Dim MaxPoint As DataPoint

            Dim myCommand As New OleDbCommand(range_holder, myConnection)

            ' create a database reader    
            Dim myReader4 As OleDbDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader  '(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
            ' Populate the chart with data in the file
            If TopLeftCriticalSelect.Checked = True Then
                TechAnalTopLeftGraph.Series(0).Points.DataBindXY(myReader4, "Time seconds", myReader4, "Critical_Total")

Its only if a user selects pie chart that I wont to play with the series.
Any help welcomed.
