Smart Category Grouping
Imagine an excel type data grid where not all data points are available.
 ABCDEFGH
Series 1  1111  
Series 2    1111
Series 31111    
Each series will only contain the points with data. In this example, the names of data points for each series are as follows:
Series 1CDEF
Series 2EFGH
Series 3ABCD
When all series do not contain points with same names, the chart will try to figure out the intended order automatically. Given the info above, it is enough to determine the correct order. Some overlap in names is required to logically conclude the correct result.
  • SmartCategoryGrouping.htmDemonstrates how unmatched datasets will be grouped in a logical way removing the need for manually specifying the order. The chart will recognize the same datasets but with missing values and order them correctly.

    • Use smart data category grouping to automatically order data points of different series.
