Default Why does a spider chart add up values?

I've created a spider chert from a pivot table. The spider chart should show
two spiders for two value ranges. For some reason it adds up the second value
range to the first creating too high values.

I don't want the chart to display the second value range relative to the
first, but absolute.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks! Mark

Hi,

I don't know why it stacks the lines by default in a radar pivot-chart,
but to get to a relative type change the chart type to clustered column
and then back to radar.

Cheers
Andy
