In addition to the basic chart types displayed when you initially drag an entity onto the report design surface, each chart type has several sub-types from which to choose.
Warning: When switching from one chart type to another (for example, from Column to Bubble and then back to Column), you may lose data points if you switch using the Chart Type option. To avoid this situation, use Undo in the Report toolbar.
To change the chart type
- Double-click a chart to select it. The chart adorners disappear and the selection border appears around the perimeter of the chart.
- Go to the Chart Design Tools Toolbar.
- In the Tools section of the Chart Design Tools Toolbar, click Chart Type.
- In the Chart Types dialog that appears, click to select the chart sub-type that you want to use. The chart type is applied to the chart.
