I got it. I was passing the variable as a string and not a integer. As you can see I am very shaky with javascript. I have the pie working and will now concentrate on the drilldown. Thanks much for your patience and help.

Juan, the issue appears to be the following: when you hard code the values it adds them up to create the whole pie, then divides each piece. when you use a variable it concatenates the values to come up with the size of the pie. function doData() { var varUsable = "<?php echo $Usable; ?>"; var varOverhead = "<?php echo $Overhead; ?>"; chart1.getDataSourceSettings().getFields().clear(); var items = [{ /*"Country": "Costa Rica", "Value": 3711095 }, { "Country": "El Salvador", "Value": 6125782 }, { "Country": "Guatemala", "Value": 11085025 }, { "Country": "Honduras", "Value": 6347658 }, { "Country": "Nicaragua", "Value": 4935148*/ "Country": "Array Overhead", "Value": 30 }, { "Country": "Usable", "Value": varUsable }]; /*var second = items[1]; second["Value"] = varOverhead;*/ chart1.setDataSource(items); } the value of varUsable is 58. the pie them becomes 3058. if I hard code the value to be 58, the pie becomes 88.

Juan, I can tweak the data i.e. var first = items[0]; first["Value"] = aNumberVariable; but when I do the whole pie does not show up,just a sliver. function doData() { var varUsable = "<?php echo $Usable; ?>"; var varOverhead = "<?php echo $Overhead; ?>"; chart1.getDataSourceSettings().getFields().clear(); var items = [{ /*"Country": "Costa Rica", "Value": 3711095 }, { "Country": "El Salvador", "Value": 6125782 }, { "Country": "Guatemala", "Value": 11085025 }, { "Country": "Honduras", "Value": 6347658 }, { "Country": "Nicaragua", "Value": 4935148*/ "Country": "Array Overhead", "Value": 3711095 }, { "Country": "Usable", "Value": 100 }]; var second = items[1]; second["Value"] = varOverhead; chart1.setDataSource(items); } thanks so much for the help, this is really cool.

can I pass a variable into the array. I am running php against a db to get the values. wondering if I can pass that into a value in the array? function doData() { chart1.getDataSourceSettings().getFields().clear(); var items = [{ /*"Country": "Costa Rica", "Value": 3711095 }, { "Country": "El Salvador", "Value": 6125782 }, { "Country": "Guatemala", "Value": 11085025 }, { "Country": "Honduras", "Value": 6347658 }, { "Country": "Nicaragua", "Value": 4935148*/ "Country": "Array Overhead", "Value": 3711095 }, { "Country": "Usable", "Value": 10000 }]; chart1.setDataSource(items); }

fixed , thanks.
