@kfooks, interesting I tried dividing by using: Effect > Pathfinder > Divide and by Object > Path > Divide Objects Below and both methods did not work. The only way I have been successful to ‘cut’ the pie chart with the circle/ellipse is by using the shortcut divide via the pathfinder control box. You can activate the control menu for pathfinder via: Window > Pathfinder, then select the objects you want to divide (the pie chart and the circle) and Select the Divide Icon on the pathfinder control box. After that all the parts should be grouped, ungroup and delete the undesired parts. I hope this helps.

What am I transforming it to (under effects-distort and transform)? I am lost at that part. Also, I can’t seem to delete the unwanted parts once I have the ellipse tool and entire chart selected. I end up deleting the ellipse tool only or the selected slice of the chart w/ the ellipse if I try to delete. Never just the unwanted section.
