Building a Power Graph
- Select the data type to be graphed from the ‘Graph’ drop-down list.
- Select the manner to organize the data in the graph (ie. by year, month, region, site, etc.) from the ‘Group By’ drop-down list.
- Select the style of graph from the ‘Type’ drop-down list.
- To further define the way in which the data is grouped (as defined in the ‘Group By’ field), select an option from the ‘Stack By’ drop-down list. For example, you may wish to define the data by ‘Year’ and then further define the data by ‘Site’. Once the ‘Stack By’ drop-down is populated, use the ‘Stack’ drop-down list to define how ‘stacked’ groupings will appear on the graph (ie. side-by-side or vertical).
- Select the appropriate time frame for the graph in the ‘Start’ and ‘End’ fields: to do so, click to select the month, date or year data in the field, then click the up/down arrows to cycle through months, dates, or years.
- To further refine the graph, click the ‘Show Legend w/ Analysis’, ‘Show Percentages’ and/or ‘Vertical Labels’ checkboxes as necessary.
- To define the exact parameters of the data to be graphed, click the various checkboxes on the bottom of the window as appropriate.
- To include an entire category of data, click the ‘All’ checkbox.
- To select specific data within a category, click to remove the ‘All’ checkmark then click to select the appropriate data type(s) from the list.
- To select multiple data types, press CTRL and click the mouse button at the same time.
- To further define the appearance of the graph, click any of the five buttons (located underneath the slanted arrow button) that appear along in the middle portion of the window.
- Click the slanted arrow button to exit a selected button and return to default mode.
- To modify the appearance of the graph, click the tools button (consisting of images of a wrench and screwdriver), located above the ‘Printer’ button in the middle portion of the window.
- To view the graph, click the ‘Create Graph’ button.
