Chart question

Question

This is probably pretty simple, but I haven't been able to find anything in the documentation on it: I am trying to do a chart that has 2 labels in it. (APEX 3.0). For example, I want to summarize data by (I work for a University) Term, Gender with the value of a distinct headcount.
I have tried using the syntax: Select null link,
decode(acsssd_rterm,'10','Fall','20','Spring','30','Summer','Other') label,
decode(acsssd_gender,'01','Female','Male') label,
count(distinct acsssd_studssn) value
from acsssd
where acsssd_ryear=:P1_RYEAR
and acsssd_rtype='F'
group by acsssd_rterm, acsssd_gender
which works to an extent, but I don't get the counts broken up by gender, just a heading "Gender" with one bar. (this is an SVG chart...perhaps I am trying the wrong type?)
TIA for any suggestions, corrections, or pointers to documentation.

Debra,
You can only have one label per value per series. So in your case, you should probably have two series, one for each gender.
It should be easy with a Flash chart in 3.0:
Select null link,
decode(acsssd_rterm,'10','Fall','20','Spring','30','Summer','Other') label,
sum(decode(acsssd_gender,'01',1,0)) "Female",
sum(decode(acsssd_gender,'01',0,1)) "Male"
from acsssd
where acsssd_ryear=:P1_RYEAR
and acsssd_rtype='F'
group by acsssd_rterm
For an SVG chart, just enter one query for each gender as separate series.
