data field (in the detail table) of which the values will appear under the bars or the line; in

Preparing a data table
By default, a chart that is based on a detail table shows one series ("category") of bars/points
per record. Each of the bars or points in a series has its own color and label, and represents
one data field in that record.
The following image shows a detail table. Both of the Bar charts below are based on that detail
table. The difference between the Bar charts is caused by the number of selected data fields
(one, or two). The values of the data field 'Year' are used as Category (on the x-axis).
