Relationship to table data

Charts are created according to table data. For rectangle charts (bar chart, line chart, and area chart), the category axis labels and series names are determined according to the direction of the series data. For circular charts (radar chart, pie chart, and doughnut chart), the data that is used as data series varies depending on the direction of the series data.

The relationship between table data items, series data directions, and charts is as follows:

  • For rectangle charts (bar chart, line chart, and area chart)
