Graphs menu

In this example, we'll create a simple pie chart that shows how many respondents have internet service at home.

step From the menus choose:

Graphs
  Pie

step Click Summaries for groups of cases and then click Define.

Since we want to base the chart on a single variable, we selected Summaries for groups of cases. Chart elements (bars, pie slices) can also be based on summaries of separate variables or values from individual cases in the data file.

step Select Internet as the variable that defines slices (Define Slices by).

step Click OK to create the pie chart.

The pie chart reveals that most respondents do not have internet service at home. Glancing at the chart, it would appear that only about a quarter of the respondents have internet service.
