Combination Line Chart With different Data Point Shapes

[gfordham]

Hi, how's it going?

I'm having a problem creating a combination chart, which has different Data
Point Shapes for each line.

here's how some of the properties are set.

ChartType=Combination
ChartSubType=Standard
PlotMeasuresAs=Series
Depth=0
CombinationTypeRotaion=Defined
Ã,  Ã,  Ã, and I've defined several lines, each with a different Data Point
Shape(diamond,triangle,star).

Now in the help file it states:
------
Combination Type Rotation
Specifies the order of chart types to be used for data series within the
combination chart. As items are returned from the query, they are plotted as
a line, column, or area, in the rotation order that is specified in this
property. If this property is set, the chart types shown in the measures
area (drop zone 1) will be ignored.
------

The rotation works correctly if I have more than one measure in the measures
area, but it seems to use only square data point shapes, if there's only one measure in
the measure area.Ã,  Also seems like the properties

DataPointShape=Diamond
DataPointSize=14

of the line measure object are just ignored, makes no difference if
CombinationTypeRotation is set or not it still uses squares.
I would guess that somewhere there's a test for more than 1 measure before
it uses the CombinationTypeRotation.
But maybee I'm just missing something too, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

In the Line Properties under General then Point Shape change it to "Change per category"
