Specify which data to display on each axis

  1. In the first drop-down list under Legend Entries (Series), select a field to display on the series axis.
  2. In the Aggregate drop-down list, click the option by which you want to group the field you selected in Legend Entries (Series).

    For non-numeric fields, you can only select Count: All or Count: Non-empty. For numeric fields, you can select one of the following aggregation options: Count: All, Count: Non-empty ,Avg, Max, Min, or Sum.

    Important

    • NULL values are not considered for computing minimum, maximum, and average of data. However, zeros (0) are considered. For example, if you have the following data:

      Topic

      Potential Customer

      Established Value

      Opportunity 1

      Account 1

      NULL

      Opportunity 2

      Account 1

      250

      Opportunity 3

      Account 2

      0

      Opportunity 4

      Account 2

      250

    The average for Account 1 is 250 because the NULL value was not used. The average for Account 2 is 125 because the zero was used.

    • If the records that are used in generating the chart involve multiple currencies, the aggregated data for records used in generating a chart may not be consistent.

    For example, you have two accounts, Account1 and Account2. The revenue specified at the time of creating the records for Account1 is 600,000 Indian rupees and Account2 is and 800,000 Japanese yen. The conversion rate when the records are created is 1:60 for the Indian rupees and 1:80 for the Japanese yen. When this revenue is converted to the base currency of US dollars, the revenue becomes 10000 for Account1 and 10000 for Account2.

    If you add the amounts, the data in the base currency is 20,000 US dollars.

    If the conversion rate changes to 1:40 for the Indian rupees and 1:75 for the Japanese yen, and the user’s default currency is Indian rupees, adding the amounts together in the chart is 800,000 Indian rupees (20000 US dollars ´ 40).

  3. To create a chart with multiple series, click the Add a series icon Print button, select another field to display on the series axis, and then select an aggregate option for that series.

    Note

    A multiple series chart can include up to five series items and only one category item.

  5. To stack items in a chart, click the chart type, and then click Stacked or 100% Stacked. You can stack items only in a bar, column, or an area chart.
  6. To display only top items on the chart, click the Top/Bottom Rules icon Print button, then click the Top X Rule icon Print button, and then click 3 or 5, or click Custom to specify a different number. For example, to display only the top three opportunities grouped by potential customers, click the Top/Bottom Rules icon Print button, then click Top X Rule icon Print button, and then click 3.

    • To clear top or bottom rules for a series, click the Clear Rules icon Print button next to that series.
