Without having more details, one way is to create a section in a list, then remove the underlying list and insert a chart in there. With master-detail relationship, it will section for the sectioned item.

thanks to be so fast to answer...
well...more detail:

for example i have this list:

continent   nation   gdp
africa        angola   10
africa        namibia   20
europe      italy      -30 ( :O) this is the real situation in my country )
europe      france   30

i want:

section: africa

graphic: x axis= angola namibia
            measure=GDP

section: europe

            measure=GDP

i want to try with your hint.

Shouldn't be a problem.
You can do this in two ways:
1. Create Section on continent.
Then insert a graph in place of the list (remove the second list if it appears there)

2. By creating a page break on continent if it is okay to have one graph per page.
