What action do you take to "explode" a data point in a pie chart?

To "explode" a data point in a pie chart effectively, adjusting the Pie Explosion input is the correct action. This feature is specifically designed to allow users to separate or pull out a slice from the pie, visually emphasizing that particular data point. By adjusting this input, you can determine how far away the selected slice is moved from the center of the pie chart, thus creating a distinct separation that draws attention to it.

Using the Series Options menu may provide various customizable settings for the data series, but it is not explicitly aimed at exploding individual data points. Formatting the entire chart does not pinpoint a specific slice, and clicking and dragging the data point may not yield consistent results across different software interfaces. Therefore, selecting the appropriate Pie Explosion input is the most reliable and straightforward method to achieve the desired visual effect in highlighting an individual section of the pie chart.
