To insert a multivariate chart:

Procedure

  1. Double-click the Multivariate Chart object in the Layouts palette of the Palette view.
    The Multivariate Chart Wizard opens.
  2. In the All Data Sources tree, navigate to the table or query that will be run to obtain the layout object's query result set and click Next.

The axes of the multivariate chart are labeled along the diagonal, with the first axis drawn in the lower left grid cell using the first column of data specified in the Axes to be created list box. Each column of data is charted along the diagonal in the order that it appears in the Axes to be created list with the last axis drawn in the upper right grid cell.
