Presentation of data in charts is highly desirable to aid in the comprehension of trends, relationships and progress against targets. However, when executed manually, the preparation of charts can be a significant roadblock at critical times in the reporting cycle.

This workshop demonstrates a technique for building dynamic charts that allows a user to select the data to be charted and the date range for which the chart should be drawn for one or more data series to vastly improve the flow of work at critical reporting times and to simplify the incorporation of data from changing data sets.  It also demonstrates useful techniques to manage the scales on charts and providing simple functionality to enable the end-user to control key elements in the charts.
