3.2 Chart Wizard
Walkthrough
The chart is a widely used element in data presentation. It presents data in a graphical form and is very useful to convey implications of certain data in a succinct manner.
Use the 'Previous' and 'Next' Buttons to navigate the data binding process. Use 'Preview' to view the report and 'Finish' to generate the final report.
For instance, a corporate presentation may use a pie chart to show the market share of the industry leaders. This is more easily understood than a table of numbers.
