Repro steps
Create a group with an aggregation within the group header
Create group utilizing the following expression
>if (BirtComp.like(row["PRODUCTCODE"],"%1678")) "Group1"
> else if (BirtComp.like(row["PRODUCTCODE"],"%1949")) "Group2"
> etc
Create a chart utilizing the group aggregation as the Y axis and the group expression as the x axis
Finish the Chart Wizard

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a group with an aggregation within the group header
2.Create group utilizing the following expression
>if (BirtComp.like(row["PRODUCTCODE"],"%1678")) "Group1"
> else if (BirtComp.like(row["PRODUCTCODE"],"%1949")) "Group2"
> etc
3.Create a chart utilizing the group aggregation as the Y axis and the group expression as the x axis
Finish the Chart Wizard

4.Preview Report

5.Choose Edit chart

6. The Select Data tab within the chart wizard gives you the NPE error.
