How to select data for a column, line, or bar Flash chart
In Flash Chart—Data, complete the following steps:
1 In Category (X) Axis, select a column from the drop-down list, to set as the x‑axis.
2 Select Group Categories, to group the values in this column. When selected, only the groups are displayed on the x‑axis in the chart.
3 In Value (Y) Axis, complete the following steps:
1 In Series 1, select a column from the first drop‑down list. If necessary, specify an aggregate function to aggregate the data in this column.
2 In Series 2, select a column from the second drop‑down list. If necessary, specify an aggregate function to aggregate the data in this column.
3 In Group Legend Items, select a column from the drop‑down list. Alternately, accept the default selection of None.
4 In Tooltip, select Tooltip, then select a column from the drop‑down list, whose values are displayed as the tooltip. Deselect Tooltip if you do not want to display a tooltip for values in the chart.
When selected, the value series values are displayed when the user hovers a mouse pointer over a column, bar, or line in the chart.
