how to plot pie chart using data in pandas

enter image description here

Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to python. I want to plot a pie chart for department, i.e., how many percent of the employees coming from Sales & Marketing, Operations, Technology, etc...

I'm not sure how to count the total number of employees from respective department first then only fit the data into the pie chart. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • You can use pandas.Series.value_counts with pandas.Series.plot.pie:

    df = pd.DataFrame({"department": ["Sales", "Operations", 
                                  "Sales", "Sales", "Technology"]})
df["department"].value_counts().plot.pie()

    Output:
