This is another case in which having the Show Information option selected
is useful. As an example, assume a user right-clicks on the Road product line bar
(which is approximately $14.6 million) and chooses Sales Territory and Country.
The resulting chart, shown with the Show Information option on, will look like that
in Figure 6-11.
Stacked Bar and Line Charts
The Dashboard Designer makes it easy to create stacked bar and line charts. Simply
create a new chart which, by default, will be a bar chart. The Edit ribbon has a button
labeled Report Type and clicking this shows there are six options available in this
Figure 6-10 The Show Information options places a line at the top of the chart that shows
the chosen measure(s) as well as any background filtering.

future versions of PerformancePoint Server.
Choosing a line chart when the dimension on the Bottom Axis is set to the All
level is quite dull; the Big Blue Bar appears as a single point. Therefore, it is useful
to start at a level lower than the All level. For example, to start at the Year level, the
developer can click the drop down icon next to Date.
