In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a simple pie chart using DataPicta with sample website traffic data. It shows the distribution of traffic sources to a website.

Open the DataPicta app

• Open the DataPicta app by going to app.datapicta.com (this will open separate browser tab).
• If you never used DataPicta before, you will only see a button for uploading data.
• If you have used DataPicta before, click on 'New blank chart' in the menu in the top right corner.

Upload your data

• Click on the plus icon (+) next to 'Data'.
• You have two options for uploading your data:
  • Upload a file from your computer in CSV or TSV format.
  • Paste or type your data directly into the text area.
• In this example, we will copy and paste the following data:

Name,Value
Search Engine,1048
Direct,735
Email,580
Union Ads,484
Video Ads,300

• After pasting the data, click on 'Add data'.
• Your data should now be visible in the data table.
