The Series properties enable you to control the look and layout of the chart’s data points (series) such that you can present several sets of results on one chart. For example you can combine a bar graph and a line graph to allow the viewer to compare two sets of results.
The Series function has three tabs. You can apply settings on "Default Series", "By Category" (previously termed "Other Series") and "By Position":
- Default Series – these are global settings that apply to all series in the chart.
- By Category – you can override the global settings with the settings in the By Category tab. This allows you to set specific settings for all series of a specific category represented in the table, for example for all averages. This tab has the same properties as the Default Series tab, plus a Selected Series field and an Enabled checkbox.
- By Position – you can override the Default Series and By Category settings with By Position settings. This allows you to set specific settings for up to five particular series, according to the order in which they are located in the series set. You may for example set a specific setting only for the first series (go to By Position Function - Example for more information).
