Pie Chart Total

I am creating a Pie Chart, I want to display the sum of all slices of the pie chart onto the chart or as a separate slice.

      There is no way to show the total number of records included in the pie chart. You are right they only show the number for each slice of the pie but not in total. You would have to have some kind of companion gauge chart or pie chart that gave the total.

        I don't understand, then the whole concept of creating a summary formula using distinct count in the pie chart if there is no way to actually use the summary formula on the pie chart.   How / where would the pie chart summary formula be demonstrated?   Separately, how would one create a companion gauge chart that associates to the data that has been included in dynamic filters?

        Use Case:   

        • We have ~400 2021 projects in our project table.   
          • Each project identifies impacted value chain teams from a multi-select.  (Each project will impact 1-n value chains)
          • Each project identifies impacted markets from a multi-select.  (Each project will impact 1-n markets)
          • Each project identifies impacted systems.  (Each project will impact 1-n systems)
          • These 3 multi-select fields are dynamic filters.
        • Each project goes through 5 project phases.
        • Pie chart built to demonstrate Active Projects by Phase with dynamic filters to look at all, or various combinations from the dynamic filters.   
          • Pie chart dynamically changes based on the dynamic filters.   Each slice identifies the # of projects in slice and allows drill down to the subset records below the slice.
          • Easy to drop a picture of the pie if needed for an update presentation.
          • Problem:   It is untenable to do mentally or manually do the math of the sum of slices.   There MUST be a way to do this.    Thoughts????
