99% of our work is reports but once in a while I am asked to include a chart. I just don't get a lot of exposure to the tools so while I think this should be easy, the solution escapes me now.

I need a simple line chart for revenue over time.

Vertical axis - revenue
Horizontal axis - months of the year (Jan - Dec)

I want 3 lines on the chart, each line representing a year (2018, 2017, 2016).

I can export the data to Excel and get the chart but WF should be able to do this!

Using 8201 InfoAssist+ I have revenue and months set but can't get the chart I need by adding Year into any of the Markers (color, size, tooltip). Matrix options didn't help. I don't want multiple graphs for each year.

I've tried plugging year everywhere it could possibly go and just can't get the chart I want. I must be missing something simple, it can't be this hard!

Would appreciate any suggestions.

I created this in InfoAssist. Y Axis: Revenue; X Axis: Month; Color: Year.

Thank you for the example. It does work, but whatever the difference it was more than just placing the fields.

When I do as you have done and put years into the Color position I still only got a single line. The legend showed a gradient color scale.

So I duplicated my report and copy/pasted your code in everywhere except for my data fields. And I get 3 lines, one for each year.

InfoAssist refuses to open the updated chart. I was hoping to see how the settings were reflected in the editor.

Your code seems about a80% the same as what was generated by InfoAssist for me, so now I can try replacing a few lines at a time to see what exactly makes the difference.

Thanks for your example!

All you need is to have 5 fields: REVENUE_2018, REVENUE_2017, REVENUE_2016, Month_number, and Month_Alpha.

   
GRAPH FILE WhatEver
SUM REVENUE_2018 REVENUE_2017 REVENUE_2016
BY Month_Number NOPRINT
BY Month_Alpha
END 

The REVENUE_2018# fields are DEFINE'd
