You can use its pull-down menu to change the currently selected series. This is especially useful for copying and pasting information between series.
This pane controls general options for the series such as the series color.
Note: This pane will not appear if you are using a bar chart with the Single Series Multicolor Mode (Bar) enabled and there is only one series of data.
The color button will launch a Color Properties dialog, where you can change the color used for the series (bars, lines, pie wedges, etc.). For more information about this dialog, refer to "Color Properties" in Chapter A.

This dialog pane allows you to change the data label format string for data labels in this series. This overrides any settings from the Data Label Properties dialog.
This controls how the text in your data labels will appear. Your data format string can include regular text, such as a currency symbol or percent character, or it can include any of the data-specific macros listed in the Value Keywords pull-down menu.
For information about the data label format string and macros, refer to "Custom Data Label Formatting" in Chapter 1.
This is a list of macros that can be used in the data label format string. You can insert any of these macros into the data label format string by selecting the appropriate macro and clicking on the Insert button. A complete list of these macros is available in Table 1.1 on page 1-13.
This pane allows you to set the drill-down destination for each item in the currently selected series. A drill-down destination can be either a URL or JavaScript command (e.g. javascript:myfunction()).
Note: Because Drill-down is usually context sensitive, you probably don't want to set PopUp text in an appearance file if you will be using that appearance file for dynamic data.
This pane consists of a table that lists every item in the series along with its drill-down destination. This table contains the following fields:
The name of the item whose drill-down URL you are changing. This corresponds to the category name for that item. This value can be changed in the Data Editor.
The data value of the item. This value can be changed in the Data Editor.
This is the URL (internet address) of the web page or resource to which the user will be forwarded when he or she clicks on the data item. You can also use JavaScript instead of a URL. If you have set a global drill-down URL for the graph in the Graph Properties > Drill-down dialog, the value you set here will replace the global setting.
