To download the solution and installation script, follow this link<\/a>. Install Script<\/p><\/div>\n Once installed, enable the Site Collection Feature SharePoint Stu Chart WebPart<\/em>.<\/p>\n Feature<\/p><\/div>\n Then add the SharePoint Stu Chart WebPart<\/em> WebPart (within the Custom<\/em> category) to your page.<\/p>\n Add WebPart<\/p><\/div>\n The WebPart works by processing values within the list it’s configured against and displaying either the sum, total or actual item values in a graph. The graphical component of the WebPart utilises the Visifire Silverlight control.<\/p>\n To configure the WebPart, start by bringing up the WebPart editor pane. At the top of the pane you’ll notice a section titled Select Chart Source<\/em>, this is where you configure the source for the chart, as hinted at by the section title \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Edit Chart Source<\/p><\/div>\n The first drop down is for selecting the source list.<\/p>\n Next, we have a list of views to use for reading the data.<\/p>\n The third drop down list contains a list of available and valid fields for the chart axis; i.e the primary x axis, the content of which will be displayed as the label in the chart.<\/p>\n The last section within this configuration group is where you can specify how the columns are calculated. Leaving the checkbox unchecked allows you to select a value field from the last drop down list to use to when displaying the chart columns. For example, if the source list has three items with a field called total<\/em>, the value of this field would be used for the rendered columns.<\/p>\n Ticking the checkbox, changes the configuration options slightly.<\/p>\n Calculation Configuration<\/p><\/div>\n Now, instead of selecting a column to read the value of, you are required to select one of two options – count<\/em> or sum<\/em>. If you select count<\/em>, the number of distinct fields for the primary x axis are used for the value. If, on the other hand, you select sum<\/em>, you will need to select a value field to use when calculating the sum total for each column in the chart.<\/p>\n Configure for sum<\/p><\/div>\n That pretty much covers the source configuration. The final part of the configuration is for how the chart is displayed. This configuration is contained with the section titled Options<\/em>.<\/p>\n Options Section<\/p><\/div>\n Within this section you can configure the following:<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: This is a beta release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m in the process of writing a Charting WebPart for SharePoint 2010, specifically aimed at the standard version, which does not come with such a feature.
