Reporting DB and Charts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The Chart groups and aggregates data as described here.

 

However, the Reporting DB SQL may return data that has already been summarised and the chart will attempt to identify this and give appropriate options.

 

The query below returns two columns, the first is a group and the second is the related count.

 

reporting db chart - summary 1 col

 

Switching to the Chart view there is a new option of Source Data Format which defaults to Unsummarised data. As the data has two columns and the second column is numeric the Chart also offers Summary by col 1. Selecting this option uses the summarised data:

 

reporting db chart - summary 1 col chart

 

Changing the query to group by two columns:

 

reporting db chart - summary 2 cols

 

The chart detects that there are three columns and that the third is numeric and so offers Summary by cols 1 and 2.
