Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Customizing a chart in a graphical report, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
- If you want a chart in a graphical report…to look just so, no problem.…You can customize charts in all sorts of ways.…Let's go back to the custom report…that we set up in another movie.…I'm gonna head to the Report tab.…My report's in the Custom category so I click that button,…and then choose Project At A Glance,…and there's my report.…Let's say that we want to add a chart to this report.…Okay, Project conveniently goes…to the Report Tools Design tab…and that's exactly where we want to be.…
In the Insert section if you want to insert a chart,…just click the Chart button.…The Insert Chart dialog box opens.…Now these charts should look familiar…if you've used charts in Excel.…You have all different kinds of charts to choose from.…You have Columns, Line graphs, Pie charts,…Bar graphs, and so on.…Let's say that I want a Combo chart.…I'm gonna use Clustered Columns…and then I'm gonna have a Line.…
This one is exactly what I want to see…so I'm gonna click OK.…That adds the chart to my report.…Of course, it plops it right in the middle…
