Custom charts are a combination of line and bar charts.

Configuring Charts in SAP MII

Charts are configured using label and value columns. For details, see i5Chart Data Mapping. The first value column represents bar and the remaining column values represents line. Label Columns supports multiple columns. (n-1) columns are used to plot the bar and the lines in the Value Columns. The last column of the Value Column is combined with the specified columns in Label Columns to form the legend. You can define specification limits for custom charts.

Example

The sample data considered is same as mentioned in the Example section of Line Charts. The configurations are:

  • Value Columns: ProductionQuality, EnergyConsumption, WaterConsumption

  • Label Columns: Region, Month, Plant

Considering the data mentioned in the table and the defined configurations, the following custom chart displays the half yearly production quality, energy consumption, and water consumption of a country within a region. The first column ProductionQuality is plotted as bar and EnergyConsumption as a line chart.
