Placing your chart in the appropriate layout partData in charts created in Layout mode is evaluated based on the layout part in which the chart is located.
FileMaker Pro charts data in Every first record in the outer-most sorted groups Every last record in the outer-most sorted groups Leading subsummary layout part Every first record in the sub-group of the sorted group Trailing subsummary layout part Every last record in the sub-group of the sorted group Leading grand summary layout part Every first record in the outer-most sorted groups Trailing grand summary layout part Every last record in the outer-most sorted groups
• Charts placed in a subsummary layout part use data in the sorted group to create the chart. When there is no sort order, FileMaker Pro charts individual data values in the entire found set. Subsummaries are considered inner summaries, because they display aggregate data from a group within the data set based on the sort order you specify.
• Charts placed in a grand summary layout part use data in the outer-most level of each sorted subsummary group to create the chart. Grand summaries are considered outer summaries, because they display an overall summary of aggregated data based on the entire found set. You can also use grand summary layout parts to summarize each subsummary group.
•
• For grand summaries calculated on the current found set, FileMaker Pro assumes you want to chart data in each subsummary group. Therefore, FileMaker Pro expects your x-axis definition (category labels in pie charts) to be the sort field and your y-axis definition (slice data in pie charts) to be a summary field. For example, to create a bar chart that compares the total number of companies per country, you must sort data by country (x-axis or category labels) and summarize data in the Company field (y-axis or slice data) to calculate the number of companies in each country. FileMaker Pro then charts the summarized values by country.

FileMaker Pro charts data in The set of related records that is obtained from the relationship between the current record and the related table The set of related records that is obtained from the relationship between the first record in a sorted group and the related table The set of related records that is obtained from the relationship between the last record in a sorted group and the related table The set of related records that is obtained from the relationship between the first record in the found set and the related table The set of related records that is obtained from the relationship between the last record in the found set and the related tableNote If you place a chart in a grand summary part without sorting records, FileMaker Pro will chart data from the entire found set as though the chart had been placed in a header, footer, or body layout part.
