ActiveChart.ChartType = xlPie
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet11").Range("B4:C99"), PlotBy:= _
    xlColumns
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet11"

Excel have a feature that record user actions and translate those actions into VBA code.
- Start a new macro recording
- do your actions (a pie chart)
- Stop macro recording
- go to VBE and inspect code, then adapt to integrate to your code.

The easiest way to learn is to record a macro creating the pie chart manually. You can then go into the Macro Editor and see the code that was created.
