Creating bar graphs

[Kearnsville]

Does anyone know of a way to create a bar graph of results of a table? I can't find anything about creating graphs with filemaker.

There is a plug-in available.

Yup, I've used two different methods to fake bar graphs. Here's how I did mine, and you can decide if one will work for you.

The first technique I tried way back in FM...3? perhaps was to simulate percent completion. I strung together 100 | characters: "||||||||||||||

Welcome to the Forums.

I highly recommend the xmChart plugin. You can download a free copy from the link in Coziman's post, and it works for something like an hour at a time (restart FMP to get it to work again) until you register it. There is a fair bit of a learning curve, but you have a great amount of control over how your graph is done, and once you get the hang of it, there's no going back.
