i have the following graph (notice the commented out parts):

SUM WEB.COMPANY.COST -* WEB.COMPANY.AVERAGE_COST
BY WEB.COMPANY.COST_TYPES
ACROSS WEB.COMPANY.NAME
WHERE WEB.COMPANY.NUM_EMPLOYEES GT 100
....
setSeriesType(0,1);
setSeriesType(1,1);
-*setSeriesType(2,2); -* this is for the AVERAGE_COST


this generates a stacked graph, and since COST_TYPES have either "salary" or "other" value. there are two stacks of bars for each company representing their two types of cost.

however there is the AVERAGE_COST column, i need to show this data as a line graph over the existing bar graph. so i tried uncommenting the commented parts of the above source, i get a line graph, but i also get a third stack on the bar graph, which i dont want.

any ideas on how i can just show a completely different line graph based on the average_cost column?

thanks

================== EDIT:
for future reference by anyone viewing this, you can do it with the setSeriesType, however (in my case) i had to play around with the argument to find out what is the number of the series that i am trying to change the type of, i did a mistake by choosing the wrong number, a good way to test it is by doing:
setDisplay(getSeries( &SERIES_NUMBER), false);

this should disable the graph by disabling that particular series. a quick and dirty way to find the correct number, useful if you have multiple data series in a graph.

Are you able to repro with one of the sample files and post the code ?

Please use the code tags for posting code.

(disregard first post, i will try to be more clear in this post)
sorry for a late reply, i wasn't sure how to explain the problem, so here goes:
here is some sample data (WEB_COMPANY.COMPANY):
name, cost, average_cost, cost_type
firm a, 100, 41, salary
firm a, 130, 41, materials
firm b, 100, 23, materials
firm c, 200, 34, salary
firm c, 170, 34, materials
firm d, 120, 31, salary
firm d, 230, 31, materials
firm e, 180, 33, materials
firm e, 170, 33, salary
firm f, 189, 28, materials

in my graph, each bar represents a company, the cost_type creates different stacks for the bar to represent the proportion of the cost based on cost_type.
i am able to generate this graph using the following code:

-* File company_expenses_report.fex
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_UNITS='PIXELS';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_HEIGHT='405.0';
-DEFAULTH &WF_STYLE_WIDTH='770.0';

setCurveFitType(0,0);
setCurveFitType(1,0);
setCurveFitEquationDisplay(true);
setSeriesType(0,1);
setSeriesType(1,1);
*END
ENDSTYLE
END

i can get the desired graph using the above. however i also need to add a line graph to represent the average_cost for each company name. my question is how can i do that?

thanks!

Damercy,

Here is an example with the CAR file. Run it and see if this is what you were thinking of:

  
-* File damercytrain01.fex
DEFINE FILE CAR
RCOST2/D6=IF SEATS EQ 2 THEN RCOST ELSE 0;
RCOST4/D6=IF SEATS EQ 4 THEN RCOST ELSE 0;
RCOST5/D6=IF SEATS EQ 5 THEN RCOST ELSE 0;
END
