#Choose Main report dataset.
# Provide a '''Series Expression''' (''optional'').
#:[[Image:iReport Charts2Chart Bar1.png|center|500px|''Series Expression'']]<div align="center">''Series Expression''</div>
# The Series Expression allows you to define an added level of detail to your bar chart (if desired). To select the '''Series''' choose the '''Expression editor''' button and '''choose one of the ''fields'' the report is grouped by''' (e.g. ''status''). Note that charts in iReport will fail if the '''Series''' value is null. In order to account for null values, you will need to modify the expression so that null values are grouped into their own group. The expression should be modified to include the bolded text below. You should replace the field the name of the field that you selected above.
#: '''$F{status} == null ? "N/A" : $F{status}'''
#*If you would like the horizontal axis of the bar chart to reflect the values of an additional attribute, the Series Expression would be the expression for the secondary level of detail. In the example shown below, the x-axis reflects the land priorities (e.g., Low, Medium, or High). In addition to displaying the priority, the bars of the chart use a different colour to reflect those land which block water access (red) vs. those that do not block the water (blue).
