If you do not want to manually place charts in your report,
you can add them using chart table layouts.
When you use a layout, charts are automatically added to
your report and are given optimal placement. In addition, the charts
are automatically sized in your report.
-
If the Charts report section doesn't display on the report level, click the Display tab and
select the Charts check box.
- Click the Charts report section on the design surface to
select it.
- Click Automatic on the Options tab
to apply automatic formatting to the report section. See Change the Display of a Report Section.
- Click Layouts to view chart section
layouts.
- Click one of the table layouts to apply it to the current
output level. The table layout you select determines how many blank
charts are added to your report and how arranged.
- Do one of the following:
- Right-click a blank chart on the design surface and select Edit Chart to configure the chart with the Chart Wizard.
See Add or Edit a Chart with the Chart Wizard.
- Select a chart on the design surface, click the Design tab,
click Type, and select the chart type and subtype
you want to use.
The wizard opens automatically if the new chart type requires
different source data than the previous chart type.
- To change data options for a chart type that does not require
different source data, click Define Data Source to manually open the Chart Wizard.
