2.2.1.13 Data Table

  • Article

A data table is a table on a chart that contains a row for each series and lists the values of each data point on the chart.

A data table is specified by a sequence of records that conforms to a DAT rule, as specified by the chart sheet substream ABNF.

The following records and rules define the significant parts of a data table:

  • The Dat record specifies whether the data table shows legend keys next to the name of the series and specifies which data table borders are displayed.

  • The sequence of records that conforms to the ATTACHEDLABEL rule in the sequence of records that conforms to the LD rule specifies the text formatting for the data table. The Pos record of the attached label MUST be ignored. The ObjectLink record of the attached label MUST NOT exist.

  • The sequence of records that conforms to the FRAME rule in the sequence of records that conforms to the LD rule specifies the formatting properties of the data table.

The following restrictions apply to the collection of records that represents a data table:

  • The fWasDataTable field of the Legend record in the sequence of records that conforms to the LD rule MUST be set to 1.

  • The Pos record in the sequence of records that conforms to the LD rule MUST be ignored. A data table is positioned automatically.

A data table is not displayed on a chart if the chart contains a bar of pie, bubble, doughnut, filled radar, pie, pie of pie, radar, or scatter chart group.
