Using graphs in reports
414 InfoMaker
To graph 110 percent of the sum of units sold, you can specify:
sum(units*1.1 for graph)
Specifying the series
Graphs can have one or more series.
Single-series graphs
If you want only one series (that is, if you want to graph all retrieved rows as
one series of values), leave the Series box empty.
Multiple-series graphs
If you want to graph more than one series, select the Series check box and
specify the column that will provide the series values. You can select column
names from the drop-down list.
There is a set of data points for each different value of the column you specify
here. For example, if you specify a column that has 10 values, then your graph
will have 10 series: one set of data points for each different value of the
column.
Using expressions
You can also specify expressions for Series (on the Data page of the Properties
view). For example, you could specify the following for Series:
Units / 1000
In this case, if a table had unit values of 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000, the graph
would show series values of 10, 20, and 30.
Specifying multiple
entries
You can specify more than one of the retrieved columns to serve as series.
Separate multiple entries by commas.
You must specify the same number of entries in the Value box as you do in the
Series box. The first value in the Value box corresponds to the first series
identified in the Series box, the second value corresponds to the second series,
and so on. The example about graphing actual and projected sales in
“Examples” on page 415 illustrates this technique.
