Multiple Line Summaries for Groups of Cases

  1. Select a variable for the category axis and move it into the Category Axis field. This variable may be numeric, string, or long string.
  2. Select one of the alternatives in the Lines Represent group to specify how the data are represented on the scale axis.

    If the scale axis displays a function of another summary variable, select Other statistic (e.g., mean) and then select a numeric variable to be summarized. To change the summary function, click Change Statistic.

  3. To define lines, you must select a variable and move it into the Define Lines By field. Separate lines are generated for each category of the line variable. This variable may be numeric, string, or long string.

To panel the chart, move one or more categorical variables into the Panel By group. See the topic Paneled Charts for more information.
