Creating Bar Chart in Navision

Bar Chart represent an exciting, new way for users to see statistical information in a graphical way in Navision. By being able to examine the relationships of statistics in a visual way, users can more quickly and easily grasp the meaning of and implications of the data on display. From a development point of view, the bar charts are a new way of using visual tools in forms by connecting then with data.

The bar charts in Navision are based on three generic bar chart subforms:

1. Form 630 Bar Chart 12x1 Subform (Show 12 columns of 1 value)
   
2. Form 631 Bar Chart 6x2 Subform (Show 6 columns of 2 compared values)
   
3. Form 632 Bar Chart 4x3 Subform (Show 4 columns of 3 compared values)

I would like to develop a bar chart to display salesperson performance in Quarter. Therefore, I decide to use Bar Chart 4x3 subform . 4 columns for showing months in Quarter.3 values for showing Sales Amount, Cost Amount and Gross Profit Amount. I use the code from the existing bar chart windows as a basis then I create a design for the functions I need in the main form and pass data to the subform using these functions. I refer to Opportunities Bar Chart design to look at codes more details.
