Data Series
Chart type properties
The Chart Type properties in the Data Series Wizard define how your data series will be visually represented in the chart. These properties allow you to select the type of chart, name the series, control its visibility, and assign it to a secondary axis when needed.
Properties Overview
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Chart Type | Select the chart type for displaying your data series. Examples include bar, line, pie, area, etc. |
| As you choose a type, a preview window shows a visual example of the chart to help you decide. | |
| Visible Serie | Toggle this option on/off to show or hide the data series in the final chart. |
| Serie Name | Enter a unique name to identify the data series in the list of series within the chart configuration. |
| Serie Legend Title | Add a descriptive title for the series to be shown in the chart legend. |
| Add serie to secondary Y-Axis | Assign this series to the secondary Y-axis, useful when comparing data series with different scales. |
| Note: This option is only available if the general chart setting “Show Secondary Y-Axis” is enabled. |
Key Notes
- Choosing the correct chart type is crucial for clear and effective data visualization.
- Secondary Y-Axis helps in visualizing datasets that have significantly different value ranges on the same chart.
- You can manage visibility of series dynamically, which is helpful when you want to compare only certain data series without removing others.
- Legend titles make charts easier to understand for viewers, especially when multiple series are displayed.
