You can add a bar chart to an aggregated table to provide for example visual feedback to the viewer or to display the answers to another question for comparison .
There are three methods of adding a bar chart to a table:
The Free Form method - add the bar chart object to a table in the same way as any other object; by dragging it from the table designer toolbar and dropping it into the table Rows, Columns and/or Data dimension as appropriate.
This method will add a "blank" bar chart to the table, and you must then go into the bar chart's Properties sheet to specify the series to be displayed.
The Quick Start method - right-click on a question in the table Rows, Columns and/or Data dimension, and select Add bar chart.
This method will automatically attach the bar chart to the question selected, so the bar chart will be displayed immediately with data. You will then only need to open the bar chart Properties sheet if you wish to change the settings.
Reportal Scripting - scripting of the properties is supported by syntax highlighting.
The first two methods are described in this documentation.
A table with a bar chart object in the columns area
A table with a bar chart object in the rows area
To open the bar chart properties sheet, right-click on the bar chart object and select Properties from the drop-down menu (go to Bar Chart Properties Sheet for more information).
Hover your mouse pointer over a section of a bar chart to display the title of that section.
