Plotting a combination chart with a combo box for selection

Question

Hi:
I am a newbie using xcelcius and I need help on the following:-
I need to create a combination chart that plots 3 years data by month, and I need a combo box selection at the top that allows me to select user display for each difference region. I manage to create one that plots only 2008 data with a combo-box selection, but I have no idea how to do it for a combi chart in xcelcius. Any advise?

Hi Ning,
I assume your data are like this:
Region             Year     Jan     Feb     Mar
APJ             2006     $234.45     $310.34     $321.54
APJ             2007     $314.35     $319.12     $256.89
APJ             2008     $425.54     $354.34     $285.73
North Asia     2006     $534.64     $642.35     $484.64
North Asia     2007     $631.74     $654.13     $754.34
North Asia     2008     $754.31     $423.65     $634.32
South East Asia     2006     $536.42     $576.35     $525.42
South East Asia     2007     $426.78     $876.43     $643.75
South East Asia     2008     $634.87     $425.77     $732.43
If this, you can set the insertion type of combo box is "Filtered Rows", see steps:
1) For Combo Box, bind General > Labels to the Region column.
2) Set General > Data Insertion > Insertion Type is "Filtered Rows" (you can refer to following flash to see how "Filtered Rows" works).
3) Set its Source Data are Year, Jan, Feb, ... columns and Destination to blank cells.
4) Bind Chart to the destination data.
Now when you select APJ from Combo Box, it will insert all the rows of APJ data to the desitination cells which will be displayed in Chart.
Hope this can help!
