How does one access the full set of chart parameters in the Chart from Table macro?

Question

Hi - I am trying to use the Chart from Table macro and customize the look of my graphs and tables but cannot figure out how to get access to all of the parameters mentioned in the documentation. I see that the parameters change when I change the chart type but they still seem to be mostly missing.

In the attached example I am trying to do obvious things like change the colors of pie slices to match the labels, replace the percentages with values and get the values to be the counts of my task numbers versus their sum which is not particularly useful.

Are such things possible?

Thanks,

Daniel F.

Here is an example of my chart:

Hi Daniel,

We've released version 4.3.0 with a capability to select value format for pie / donut / bar charts.

Hi Andrey,

Thanks - this helps a bit. Using the pivot table macro for counts was useful but overall this macro is not flexible enough to be particularly useful. Folks here loved the dynamic nature of it but they need more complex KPI data so we are using static MS-Excel graphics that render quite well.

We look forward to the future enhancements.

Hi Daniel,

You can change colors when viewing or editing the page.

It is not possible to show values instead of percentage currently, but it will be implemented in future versions.

To count number of tasks, you need to use Pivot Table macro.
