Hi there,

I have a question. Is it possible to display multiple charts, from one data provider, next to each other in stead of below each other?

Yes certainly… You can place charts one next to another like two blocks one next to the other. Is that what you ask? Or asking something else?

how to insert Multiple charts next to each other?

From the “Insert” menu on your tool bar, select “Chart”

A pop up appears which will ask from where you want your data, additional query, data from the report, etc.

Select what you want. An additional window appears from which you select your objects (either from a universe or your report, depending on what you selected). Your chart will be created.

Repeat the process for each chart you want to create.

You may then format the charts for location by “right clicking” on the chart and selecting “format chart” Select the “Appearance” tab and position the charts where you want them.

They can be position from the margins or from specified distances from each other. A little practice with positioning will greatly benefit you.

I suggest you position them a particular distance from each other because if you move one, they move together. It is much easier to manage if everything moves together.

That is just my opinion, others may have other ideas.

I hope this helps.

While you position them, don’t do it manually. Instead use Relative Positioning. See this topic for relative positioning.

Yeah, what he said. He said in two words “Relative Positioning” what I said in three paragraphs! :idea:

oops, I am truly sorry Jansi… I was using an old quote, and I guess I should have used something else.

I will not make that mistake again :oops:
