    Alright, I'm trying to create a pie chart that shows Locations in the Legend so that each location as a designated color, and the values assigned to each location is TotalSales. I thought it would be an easy thing to implement, but I'm running into issues.

    When I implement the code below, it shows the TotalSales all around the pie chart (I know that's because of LabelLocation="Auto") but the legend on the right would just say "Series xx". I know how to get the name to change, but I don't know how to get it to create a new item for each location.

    Can someone help me out with this?

    Here's my code:

    <telerik:RadChart ID="radSales" AutoLayout="true" runat="Server" Width="900px" Skin="Web20"
            Style="margin: 0px auto;">
            <Legend Visible="true">
                <Appearance GroupNameFormat="#VALUE">
                </Appearance>
            </Legend>
            <ChartTitle TextBlock-Text="Total Sales">
                <TextBlock>
                    <Appearance TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 20px, style=Bold" TextProperties-Color="#00529B">
                    </Appearance>
                </TextBlock>
            </ChartTitle>
            <PlotArea>
                <Appearance Dimensions-Margins="18%, 22%, 12%, 14%">
                </Appearance>
                <XAxis DataLabelsColumn="Location">
                    <Appearance>
                        <TextAppearance TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 8pt, style=Bold">
                        </TextAppearance>
                    </Appearance>
                </XAxis>
            </PlotArea>
            <Series>
                <telerik:ChartSeries DataXColumn="Location" DataYColumn="TotalSales" DefaultLabelValue="#Y{C}"
                    Type="Pie">
                    <Appearance>
                        <LabelAppearance LabelLocation="Auto">
                        </LabelAppearance>
                        <TextAppearance TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 11pt, style=Bold" TextProperties-Color="#00529B">
                        </TextAppearance>
                    </Appearance>
                </telerik:ChartSeries>
            </Series>
        </telerik:RadChart>

    Hi Brian,

    Try setting the LegendDisplayMode to ItemLabels. This will create new legend items with accordance to the color of each pie slice.

    For example:
    <Series>
        <telerik:ChartSeries Type=Pie DataYColumn="Data" DataLabelsColumn="Name">
        <Appearance LegendDisplayMode="ItemLabels" />
        </telerik:ChartSeries>
      </Series>

    Hope that helps.
