Bars/Lines: Category and Series Axes
If you have decided in favor of a three-axis diagram, you have both of these axes at your disposal (x axis and x axis). With two-axis charts (e.g. a simple bar chart), you only need the category axis (x axis).

Number of sample records |
The Designer does not yet have the "real" data that appears in your chart when it is printed. So that you can still get a picture in the Designer preview of how your chart will look, you can use this option to specify the number of sample records that are to be displayed in the Designer. |

Use series to determine the values
|
For the series axis (y-axis) in a three-axis diagram, you can also specify the values by means of rows instead of formulas. This means that you define the different rows (e.g. measured value/target value/actual value) with a single data record and can show them parallel e.g. in a line diagram. Select the "Use rows as data source" entry from the drop-down list above the properties. This option changes the properties of the series axis and you also have the "Row definition" property. You define the individual rows by opening the "Row Definitions" dialog. You can define the properties differently for each row and move the rows with the arrow button. | |||
