I've put together a report that's pretty simple - it groups on one column,
and then provides a total of rows in the group footer. I would like to use
this data in a chart - so it seems that the chart's "use report data"
would be the ticket for this. However, I cannot find any documentation on
how this is supposed to work.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? I am still pretty new to BIRT.
Thanks in advance,
Brice Ruth

Hi Brice,
I think there are some report wizards with such configuration (chart inside
a table), that guide you to create similar reports.
You can put the chart in the group header or footer, it should work.
Thanks,
David
