I would like to add the percent and the value and display
it within a pie chart.

Thanks for your help.
 
You can calculate the percentages on the worksheet, and use a formula to
create the labels. For example, with the following data in in A1:B3 --

Jan 25
Feb 25
Mar 50

Enter the following formula in cell C1, and copy down to C3:
=B1/SUM($B$1:$B$3)

To calculate the text for the pie chart labels, enter the following
formula in cell D1, and copy down to D3:
=B1 & " " & TEXT(C1,"0%")

When you create the pie chart, in step 2 of the Chart Wizard, click on
the Series tab. Click in the Category Labels box, and then select cells
D1:D3 on the worksheet.

In step 3, choose Show Label on the Data Labels tab.
 
In addition to Debra's suggestion, XL2003 (and XP?) have that
capability built-in. Double-click the plotted pie, then select the
Data Labels tab. Select one or *more* of the options as well as the
desired seperator.
