Defines the Pivot control which provides data for the chart.

Remarks

Property specifies the Pivot control from which the data and the chart definition will be received. When chart is implemented through pivot control there is no need to create chart definition. There is no need to create any series, define any axis or other chart feature. Pivot control is selected from a list containing all pivot controls located on the current MxPart component.

Members displayed on each axis are determined with the definition of Pivot control. The same configuration created for pivot goes for the chart. Chart is automatically drawn with the selection of data in pivot. Every data selected in pivot is immediately displayed in the chart. This brings huge possibilities in creating any kind of chart from available data. Of course once the chart is created it can be exported to numerous formats such as HTML, PDf, image, excel, etc.
