| Field Name | Use To |
|---|---|
| Chart type | Select one of the available chart types. |
| Data range | Define the cell range that stores your chart's data. |
| Main axis | Define the column that stores the data for the main axis. For time-series data, this usually a date column. |
| Series | Update the data series represented in the chart and add or remove specifc series. For example, in a previous illustration, we demonstrated how to remove the "total" series because it distorted the scale of the vertical axis. |
| Switch rows and columns | Switch this toggle to look for series labels in the first column rather than the first row. For example, in the above illustration, this option would be useful if traffic source names were the first colum (A1:A7) rather than the first row (A1:E1) |
