Multi-Series Column Charts are usually created to compare the values of several items distributed on any basis.
Column chart shows a basic multi-series chart with negative values. We see company’s profit from sales in several states in three years period. Years are categories: so there are three categories in the chart. Each category holds four columns, one for each region. The company’s profit values are shown in labels above the columns; each tooltip has a year (category) as a title and the state name with the profit value are specified in its body. We have enabled the vertical grid, making it more clear which columns belongs to which year. Horizontal X axis is duplicated, so categories (products) are shown twice -at the top and the bottom of the chart, to have the categories’ labels both sides. Zero line is created using Axis marker.
Several different Text Formatters are demonstrated in this sample. Default label formatting is done for series labels - they are just turned on, token based formatting is used for tooltip items (looks like "{%Name} {%Value}{decimalSeparator:\\,}k.") and function based formatting is used for Y Axis labels to avoid adding "k." postfix to zero label.
