Creating Charts

This object is used to evaluate and display data graphically in diagrams. This gives you an overview of your data and lets you recognize anomalies immediately.

For example, you can analyze sales trends, illustrate percentage shares and show data in multiple dimensions. You have a wide range of different types of diagrams at your disposal:

§ Pie chart

§ Bar chart (also displayed as cylinders, pyramids, cones, octahedrons)

§ Simple (e.g. sales per customer)

§ Multi-row (e.g. sales to various customers over the years, scaled by customer)

§ Clustered (e.g. sales to various customers over the years, grouped by year)

§ Stacked (e.g. percentage of sales to various customers stacked over the years)

§ 100% stacked (e.g. respective sales percentages for various customers over the years)

§ Lines/symbols

§ Simple

§ Multi-row
