Select Variables to Chart

Note: This topic relates to legacy charting functions. For more flexible charting, see Optimization Charts.

To access this screen:

Display a legacy chart.
Optimization ribbon >> Charts >> Variables.

Select one or more variables to chart using the legacy charting engine.

The variables are chartable data fields (data columns) of Studio NPVS reports. A data field is chartable if it has at least two data rows. A chart can combine variables from different reports provided the reports are comparable; for example, a report whose data rows represent years is comparable with another report of this type but is not comparable with a report whose data rows represent LG phases or Pushbacks.

Variable

A menu with the report name at the root, report items at the second level and data columns at the third level.

Select a data column and click Add to add the variable to the chart.

Select if the variables in the Show list are measured in different units; for example, in tons and dollars.
