Allow the user to select a MAX number of slices to display for the pie chart. When the limit is reached, all remaining entries get grouped together into one category.

This category should be labeled "Others" by default, but the user should also have the option of changing the label for this bucket.

Not just a max number of slices .... conditional formating (if value is below a certain level; if % of pie is less than a threshold).

Had to login just to vote for this. I'm amazed this feature is not available yet. How can we have complex stuff like error bars and miss a "basic" feature like this one?

I really need this. Not only for pie charts, but also for other visuals!

Basic for bar/column charts too.

As a visualization tool, features such as these allow for clearer and more impactful graphs. Highly appreciate if this is expeditated given pie charts are usually avoided in dashboards when categories are too many, and to go a long route to create measures/new tables for each chart essentially kills the idea to use them effectively.

Why does this idea not have more votes? This is a small but very useful feature.
