In the Chart options section, you can edit the Chart characteristics:
Categories (horizontal axis) - Depending on the data type of the category, you can either change the category or select the required grouping of the data (bucket) for the horizontal axis.
Series - You can change the data series that you are interested in. For example, the "Historical delivery reliability value orders" chart in the "Sales revenue" Angle will give you an overview of the delivery reliability performance per period as a function of the total "Sales value" in that period.
Data (vertical axis) - You can change the vertical axis depending on the type of data used. You can select Count to use the standard count option or add your own field. If the vertical axis contains more than one field, you can drag and drop them to change their order.
Tip: You can drag and drop the selected fields between the Categories and the Series to switch them.
