How to Repeat a Chart per Group [message #85557]

I have a set of grouped data like this:

Species Breed Weight
Dog Mastif 100
Dog Mastif 120
Dog Chiwawa 4
Dog Chiwawa 5
Dog Shepherd 50
Dog Shepherd 40
Cat Siamese 12
Cat Siamese 8

I want to generate a report that looks like:

Dog (group header)
Chart of Breed vs Average weight of *only dogs*
Cat (group header)
Chart of Breed vs Average weight of *only cats*

So far, if I drag a chart into the group detail row and set it up
though, it includes all dogs and all cats and just repeats itself twice,
once for the cat group and once for the dog group.

What's the best approach to get the chart to render based solely on the
subset of data within its group band?

NM, solved my own question. Subreports appear to be the way to solve this.

Put the chart in the group header.

Thanks,
