Diagrams

Diagrams are charts which are based on the data available in the report. Beware that even if a graph is placed in a band, the data used in that graph is taken from the whole report. Normally a diagram is positioned in bands that are only output once - otherwise diagrams are displayed multiple times.

To create a diagram, add a chart to your layout and click on 'Run Designer'.

How to navigate to Run Designer of Diagrams

Here, you can define via series, arguments and properties how the chart should look like.

• The link between data and diagrams is made via series

• Every series contains a grouping argument (x-axis) and a value (y-axis) which is usually calculated using an aggregation function (sum, count, average, etc.)

• For the use of 2D diagrams, series can be added individually

To configure the 'Text Pattern' fields please use the following expressions:

• {A} for the value from the selected field

• {V} Absolute number, for counting the number of times the value occurs.

• {VP:0%} Percentage (expandable with .0 for more decimal places)
