Charts

Charts are fully interactive, three-dimensional views of data. You can use charts to convert your raw data into eloquent, visual information, which delivers immediate impact.

With a varied selection of chart types, and a complete arsenal of OLAP tools like group and drill-down, the Chart section is built to support simultaneous graphic reporting and ad-hoc analysis. You can change the look and architecture of a chart literally by clicking a button.

You can add, move, stack, cluster, repaint, focus on, and drill down into chart objects to gain customized views of the data. You can apply new colors and rearrange axes to view data from a completely different perspective. You can also add charts to the Report Designer section to complement data values with graphic representations.
