Charts are the graphic equivalent of tables and crosstab tables. Yellowfin has a very powerful and easy-to-use charting feature which enables you to produce sophisticated and visually appealing charts to display a simple summary of your data or to represent complex relationships within it.
With Yellowfin, once you have selected the data to be used in the report, you can visualize this data in many ways simply by altering the attributes that you use in the chart.
