    row["DateOfEntry"] 
    
  7. To display multiple sets of stock data, in Grouping, supply a grouping key expression.
  8. For example, to build the sample chart, use the following expression:
    row["CompanyName"] 
    
  9. Choose Finish.
  10. The chart design appears in the layout editor.
  11. To see the chart with data, choose Preview.
