To format your report in a graph-type format as shown in Figure 78, under Components on the Properties screen choose one of the following options: Area, Bar, Column, Donut, Funnel, Line, Pie, or Radar.
Figure 79: Example of a Bar graph-type format
Figure 80: Chart type graph options
Notes to consider for this type of graph:
§ Choose the chart type in the dropdown list on the right.
§ If you set a date column as a Pivot Field, then you can choose Auto / Year / Quarter / Month (Aging for Pie/Donut) in Granularity By.
§ The option Summarize by allows summarization to be Average rather than just a Sum.
§ The Top will show the top 3,5,10,20 elements in either ascending or descending order.
§ If Show Chart as Percentage is selected, then the label will be shown as percentages of total.
§ If Show Total in Title is selected, then the total will show in the title.
Though there are many different graphs from which to choose, each has the same data requirements. As an example, for a graph-type option, Pie is chosen under Components in the graphic below (Figure 80).
Once Pie is selected, set the parameters on the Pie Chart Settings screen and the Details Settingsscreen. The “Settings” screen will correlate with the component type chosen: If Area was chosen, the settings screen would be titled Area Chart Setting instead.

If you set a date column as a Pivot Field, then you can choose Auto / Year / Quarter / Month / Aging in Granularity By.

§ None - Only shows chart.
