Inserting a chart based on a Decision view

Inserting Decision views into a chart works as follows for Microsoft Word:

  • Dimensions displayed in the title bar are included in the chart title.
  • Dimensions that are not displayed are not transferred to the document.
  • Charts are created using a Microsoft Word Rich Text Content Control.
  • The Microsoft Word Date field can be included below the chart to indicate when the chart was refreshed from the Decision source.

When inserting Decision views into a chart for Microsoft PowerPoint, you should restrict the amount of data in the Decision grid. For example, do not include more than 50 rows.
