Hello all,

I was trying to create a basic line graph, nothing complicated just to get started. The issue I seem to be receiving is my Across variable.

I am trying to view a report in terms of sales by month where

sales = D10
month = I6YYMT

I tried using the graph assistant as well as coding it in and I always get the horizontal line display 0 and 1 without showing the actual months.

Is there an issue when using this as the Across variable?

my code would look like:

GRAPH FILE TEMP1
PRINT SALES
ACROSS MONTH
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH LINE
ON GRAPH SET 3D OFF
END

I just want it to display each month on the horizontal axis with the corresponding sales value for that month.

thanks,

Leo

Try converting the I6 date field to a Smart Date fielde via a DEFINE and then use the Smart Date field in the ACROSS statement.

Thanks!

that did the trick... I had no idea about smart dates and it worked like a charm
