Got the rendering correct now, but need to know how do we want to handle the labels.  Do we just want a series number like Excel?  Also right now its just an auto scale.  Do we want to make the scale configurable?  See attached screenshot for new rendering.

Being able to set the scale by hand is important to me (0 - 5, webs every 1). 

I'd like to see labels on the web itself (see the Excel chart in the screenshot in the initial report). Around the web, I need the category names to know what each axis is actually showing. Having labels for each data point is less important.
Comment 7 Jason Weathersby CLA 2010-07-26 15:31:49 EDT
In the orginal xls posted just the data point index is shown outside the web.  That is not really the category.  Is that what you want?

I was referring to the screenshot specifically for the labels on the axis (going from the center to the outside - starting at 23 and going up to 29).

The example spreadsheet has numbers going around the perimeter of the web. I need the category names instead.

I'll see if I can mock up something in Excel later.

example categories

Using the excel data this is what I have now.  Notice 2 nulls in the categories.
Comment 10 Jason Weathersby CLA 2010-07-27 00:08:47 EDT
You will only get one null if grouping is enabled.

Please reopen if it still doesn't work for you.
