Intro
High low charts are used to represent rises and falls in stock values. These charts are similar to candlestick charts but are less complex, requiring only three columns (compared to five for a candlestick chart). For any given category, a vertical or horizontal line is shown depending on which chart type you select. The ends of the lines represent the high and low values respectively.Power High Low Charts
High low charts require three columns/rows (depending on whether your chart is vertical or horizontal) of data from your DataSet—one category column/row containing the name of each value or date if you are showing a time progression for a single value; and two columns/rows with the values. One of the columns/rows contains low values and the other contains high values. For information about value, category, and series data, see Understanding Chart Data. In Analyzer, you choose the columns containing the data for your high low chart. For more information about choosing data columns, see Applying DataSet Columns to Your Chart. For more information about formatting charts in the Analyzer, see Visualization Card Building Part 2: The Analyzer. In the following example, theWarehouse Inventory by Month horizontal high low chart categorizes the high and low values by month using the Date column from the DataSet. The high and low values are on either side of the horizontal line for the associated month.
