Preview charts (Charts)

Preview charts are small thumbnail charts. To enlarge a preview chart and display it as a standard chart, click on the thumbnail.

Preview charts appear under the following conditions:

• If the chart has too many rows to display in one chart. The number of rows in a chart is limited by the number of available colors (64 by default).

  Note: There is no limit to the number of columns a chart can have. Therefore a large data series of more than 64 items should be placed on the columns.

• If the chart is a pie chart. A pie chart can only represent one data series. If a table has more than one data series, preview charts will be created.
• If the chart has nested row dimensions.

A preview chart allows you to switch, move, and nest dimensions as you would in a table. To rearrange dimensions, do one of the following:

• Drag and drop the dimension tiles.
• Use the Rearrange report dialog to arrange dimensions without using drag-and-drop. (Click Table options> Rearrange report, or else select View menu> Table options> Rearrange report.)
