CHAPTER 5 IMPLEMENTING DASHBOARD STYLE REPORT OBJECTS
Figure 5-18. Data Bar: Chart Data Value
You could stop here, but let’s add a little more pizazz to the report. Label the header column with
the Data Bar “Visit Count.” Then make the header row Bold and Centered. Now, select the Data Bar—the
blue bar and not the cell—and then right click it to bring up the dialog box and choose Show Data
Labels. This will show the values when you run the report. Next, right click the Data Bar again and then
select Series Properties... Go to the Fill tab, select Gradient with a Gradient style of Left right, as shown in
Figure 5-19. Then click on the fx button next to the primary color (top color) to create an expression.
