Charting Relational Data


In order to chart relational data, you must set the data columns to be charted using the Axes Placement tab in the Chart Types and Configuration dialog box. This tab lets you select the columns to be placed on the legend, x-axis, y-axis, and the filter.

On the Axes Placement tab, to set the data columns to be charted:

  1. Click the column from the column list that you want to chart.
    The column is highlighted.
  2. Click the Legend, X-Axis, Y-Axis, or Filter button to indicate where you want to place the column.
    The column appears in the selected data column list under the axis you indicated.
  3. Repeat the steps until you complete the placement.
  4. Check the Sum matching relational rows check box if you want to group identical series and chart the aggregated data as one series.
  5. To change the order of appearance of the selected data columns, use the Up and Down buttons.
  6. Click Apply to implement the changes without closing the dialog box. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes.
