[SOLVED] WEBFOCUS Charts / Each Year as a Series

Looking for some help as we are just starting to use WEBFOCUS charts. My data structure is as follows

Month Year Sales
1 2000 1000
2 2000 1500
.
.
.
1 2001 1000
2 2001 1200
.
.
.

With sales being the amount of sales for that month and year.

I want the Month to be the x axis and sales to be the Y with each year being its seperate series.

There doesn't seem to be way to do this through the GUI. I'm thinking I can probably alter the hold file to accomodate what I need but wanted to see if anyone has solved for this issue.

hi,
Here is how it can be done.
Assuming both Month and Year are Integers,
Have 2 define fields:

DEFINE A8DATE/A8MDYY=EDIT(MONTH) | '01' | EDIT(YEAR)
DEFINE MONTH_DISPLAY/MtrYY = A8DATE;


and use MONTH_DISPLAY for x-axis

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't seem to be having the desired effect. That is just extending it out for the entire timeframe.

What is being required is the x axis will be a static
Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,June,July....Dec

Then I will be pulling back 4 years of data and plotting a line graph. What I need is for 2014 to be a line, 2015 to be a seperate line, 2016 to be a line, and 2017 with all four lines plotting there values for each month. Does that make sense?

In the GUI:
Sales would be the Measure
Month on the X Axis
Year would be in the Legend(Series) section.
