Chapter 13 Managing Reports

Understanding Charts

Changing Chart Subtype

charts have subtypes, which you can change as needed:

Bar chart—Side-by-Side, Stacked, Percent Stacked

Line chart—Overlay, Stacked, Percent Stacked

Area chart—Overlay, Stacked, Percent Stacked

Meter chart—Standard, Superimposed

Stock chart—Candlestick, Bar Stick

Many chart types offer two-dimensional subtypes, in which the chart shape appears flat against the chart background. Some charts also can be displayed with depth. A chart with depth appears to have added dimension. To do this:

Step 1 Right-clicking the chart whose subtype you want to modify.

Step 2 Select Chart Subtype.

The Chart Subtype dialog box appears.

Step 3 Select the desired chart subtype.

Changing Chart Formatting

Some of the formatting for a chart, such as the colors of the bars in a bar chart and the background color of the chart, comes from the report template or the theme.

When viewing the report you can modify other items of the chart’s format, including the fonts and font sizes of the chart title and axis labels, and the height and width of the chart. You can hide axis labels, place labels at an angle relative to the axis, and hide the legend or determine where to display the legend in relation to the chart.

You can modify other aspects of the chart’s appearance by right-clicking the chart and choosing Format. In the dialog box that appears, choose the desired formatting properties.

To modify other aspects of the chart’s appearance, use Format Chart, shown in Figure 13-50.
