Creating an Area Chart

  To create an area chart:

  1. Select Area from the Chart drop-down list box.

  2. Drag a value item from Elements to y pane in the data layout.

  3. Drag a label item from Elements to the z pane in the data layout.

  4. Select Legend On Z from the Legend drop-down list box.

    Setting the legend on the z axis properly distributes color.
