Description

Use series to determine the values

For the category axis, you can also specify the values by means of series instead of formulas.

This means that you define the different series (e.g. measured value/target value/actual value) with a single data record.

Select the "Use rows as data source" entry from the drop-down list above the properties. This option changes the properties and the "Series Definition" property becomes available. You define the individual series by opening the "Series Definitions" dialog. You can define the properties differently for each series and move it with the arrow buttons.

The property "Calculation Type" allows displaying e.g. a moving average or the aggregation of data.
