Column fields |
Provide the means for applying DataSet columns to your chart. To apply columns, you drag them from the available columns region on the left side of the Analyzer into the appropriate fields in this area. These fields differ between chart types. For example, for a standard vertical Bar chart, X Axis and Y Axis fields would appear. You would drag a value column into the Y Axis field and a category column into the X Axis field. Your chart preview would then update to show how the chart would look with these columns applied. For more information, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart. |
