Change the ValueSet Graphic Properties

Each ValueSet can have different settings for line/bar graph colors and patterns; cumulative and non-cumulative display of values and graphing of values; adding currency symbols to values; decimal place control; summing of values and averaging of values; and much more.

Choose Tools | Graph Options | Set Up ValueSets.
Click the Create/Edit button to edit a ValueSet.
Choose the Graphic Properties tab:
Choose OK. Create or edit other ValueSets.
Choose OK to return to the schedule.

ValueSet Display Properties

List Numeric Values Above Graph: Values appear above DataGraph.
Show as Cumulative: Values appear above DataGraph as cumulative values. Learn more.
Graph Values: Values are converted to line or bar graphs.
Graph as Cumulative: Cumulative values are converted to line or bar graphs. Learn more.
Values Represent Currency: Add currency symbol to values. Affects ValueSet values above/below DataGraph, Y-axis values, and ValueSet values under each task row.
Number of Decimals to Display: Choose 0 - 6 decimal places when displaying values. Affects ValueSet values above/below DataGraph, Y-axis values, and ValueSet values under each task row.
Show Values Under Each Task Row: For Type 2 and 3 ValueSets, only. Display values on the task row and within the appropriate time periods. Learn more.
Exclude Name of ValueSet in Task Row: For Type 2 and 3 ValueSets, only. Hide the name of the ValueSet which will otherwise display in the column area, in line with its value on the task row. Learn more.
Suppress Values of Zero: To not display values of 0 (zero) above/below the DataGraph or on task row ValueSet value displays. Learn more.
Suppress Leading Values of Zero: For ValueSet numbers such as 0.35 to appear as .35. Learn more.
Show Average instead of Sum: Normally, ValueSet values are totalled by time period, then displayed above the graph and graphed as summed values. This option changes that computation to an average of values.
Ignore Zero values when computing average: Does not consider ValueSet values of zero when computing average.

Graph Properties

Line Style: For line graphs in the DataGraph, choose a thin line, dotted line, dashed line or thicker line.
Line/Bar Color: Choose a line color or bar fill color.
Bar Pattern: For bar graphs in the DataGraph, choose a pattern which fills each bar. Marbled patterns are full-colored bitmaps which will ignore any foreground or background color settings. Use of these increases the size of printer files and metafiles, especially on high-resolution printers.
Solid Bar Target Color: For the solid Bar Pattern, choose a Target Color for fading from the Line/Bar Color to this Target Color. For other bar patterns, the Target Color fills the white area shown in the bar pattern sample.
Solid Bar Effect: For the solid Bar Pattern only, choose a gradient fill pattern for fading from the Line/Bar Color to this Target Color.

Example: ValueSet

The example below shows 3 ValueSets.

To edit an existing ValueSet or add another ValueSet, right-click the DataGraph and choose Create or Edit ValueSets. DataGraphs display either bar or line graphs. If you want to display bars instead of lines, set this by changing the DataGraph properties.
