Specifying Variables for a Histogram Control

A Histogram control can analyze from one to three independent variables. The number of variables must correspond to the data dimensions. If the number of variables specified exceeds the number of data dimensions, the excess variables are ignored. For information on setting the data dimensions, see Specifying Data Dimensions and Viewing Mode for a Histogram Control.

To specify the variables, use the attributes XVariable, YVariable, and ZVariable. The Histogram control supports long variable names, and mixed-case variable names.

To analyze Use attributes dataDimensions must be

One variable XVariable 1D

Two variables XVariable and ZVariable 2D

Three variables XVariable, YVariable, and ZVariable 3D

For a Histogram control named histogram1, the following code specifies variable Revenue as the value for the XVariable attribute:

To analyze	Use attributes	dataDimensions must be
One variable	XVariable	1D
Two variables	XVariable and ZVariable	2D
Three variables	XVariable, YVariable, and ZVariable	3D

histogram1.dataDimensions = '1d';
histogram1.XVariable = 'revenue';
