Charting Creating charts 11. Accept the default title information or add new titles to your chart. 12. Click OK. Note: When your chart is inserted, it may cover a portion of the report. Move and resize the chart so that it fits properly within the report. Condition The condition is used to indicate when to plot the point. For example, a chart showing last year's sales for your customers uses the Customer Name field as the condition. Each time the condition changes (the customer name changes), a point is plotted. You also have the option of plotting a point for each record, or plotting one point for all records. Value The Advanced chart uses the value to indicate what information is plotted as the points on your chart. For example, to create a chart showing last year's sales for your customers, the Last Year's Sales field would be the value. Charting on summary or subtotal fields (Group layout) Many of the charts you create are based on summary or subtotals within your report. In order to create these charts, you must have a summary or subtotal already inserted into your report in a group header or footer. For more information on inserting summaries and subtotals, see Summarizing grouped data on page 246 and Subtotaling on page 252. To chart on a summary or subtotal field 1.
