Formatting a Data Series (Report Builder 1.0)
A data marker is a circle, cross, diamond, triangle or square in a chart that represents a single data point, or value, that comes from the data source. Related data markers in a chart comprise a data series. You can vary the colors, size, and styles of the data markers within the same data series.
In addition, you can label each data marker in the data series with the actual data value. For example, suppose your data series contains three values: 15, 39, and 98. When you show the point labels, each value appears at the top of each respective chart data value.
When formatting your data series, you can also change the label that appears in the legend for this data series. For example, if SumSales is displayed in the legend for a data series, you can change the text to Total Sales instead.
Plotting a Data Series as a Line
You can create a hybrid chart that displays both columns and lines in a single chart. To do this, create a column chart with multiple value series, and then select the Plot data as line check box on one or more of the value series to display that value series as a line.
