●Stacked Bar
A Stacked Bar graph displays data as a series of vertical bars. This type of graph is best suited for representing three series of data, each series displayed as a different color stacked in a single bar (for example, sales for 1994, 1995, and 1996). Also available are a 3D Stacked graph, Percent Bar graph, and a 3D Percent Bar graph.
●Line
A Line graph displays data as a series of points connected by a line. This type of graph is best suited for showing data for a large number of groups (for example, total sales over the past several years).
●Area
An Area graph displays data as areas filled with color or patterns. This type of graph is best suited for showing data for a limited number of groups (for example, percentage of total sales for CA, AZ, OR, and WA).
●Pie
A Pie chart displays data as a pie, split and filled with color or patterns. This type of chart can only be used with one group of data (for example, the percentage of sales for entire inventory). Also available are a Multiple Pie chart and a Weighted Pie chart.
Where to place your graph
Drill down with graphs
Where you place your graph determines what data gets displayed and where it is printed. For example, if you place a graph in the Report Header section, the graph includes data for the entire report. If you place it in a Group Header or Group Footer section, it displays group specific data.
NOTE: If your report contains subreports, you can place graphs in those subreports as well. See Subreports, Page 429.
Not only is a graph a powerful way of presenting data, it is also a powerful analysis tool. When you place your mouse pointer over a segment of the graph in the Preview Tab your mouse will become a drill down cursor. You can double-click to see the details supporting that section of the graph.
