Hello,

I have a dataset that needs to be inserted into pivotchart.

when i "select all columns for pivotchart --> insert --> pivotchart --> existing table(same tab)"and put the values in the VALUES box server name into AXIS

the value data changes equal to each other therefore rendering it useless.

i have tried changing the values field settings 

Home , settings , advanced , use system operators to " comma's " (since the values row has dots) also didn't work

removing the letters from the values row also didn't work.

also changing chart type did not work

"i would love to upload a picture to clearify the situation but technet wont allow me "

this is a first time since it happened, it worked fine before , but since i changed my Query its not displaying the chart right anymore.

how can i create a pivotchart with the values from dataset that will be displayed correctly?

thank you in advance,

Enma

when i put the columns into their respective "server name AXIS,dbname AXIS, space_used/space_free into VALUES"

the space_used and space_free value change from 5.19MB to something entirely else, same for all my values.

i use Excel 2013 and SQL Server management 2008 2012 and 2014 

as soon as my account is verified i upload a screenshot to help me  clearify it. 

please wait

Hello George,

I have already tried changing the values , when i change it to SUM it will leave my pivotchart values area empty. And the table values all change to 0

kind regards,

Enma

Hi george,
