# Adding a chart to a report

> Put a graph above or below any report, saved with it, re-drawn every time the report runs.

Section: Reports · Canonical: https://intubu.intuitivecapital-dai.com/docs/report-charts

Open any report and choose **Add chart**.

**What you choose:**
- **Type** — bar, column, line, pie or donut.
- **Where it goes** — the top of the report or the bottom. You can move it later without reopening the editor.
- **What to plot** — every detail line, the totals only, one section, or specific lines you tick.
- **Which column**, on a report that has several — a by-month P&L can chart any month, and a Cash + Accrual report can chart the Difference column.

**A chart is a rule, not a picture.** It stores *which rows to plot*, and is re-resolved every time the report runs. Change the date range or the basis and the chart moves with the table. A chart that can disagree with the statement it sits on is worse than no chart.

**It will not quietly mislead you:**
- Subtotals are excluded by default, so nothing is counted twice.
- A pie drops negative values — a share of a whole cannot be negative — and tells you how many it left out.
- Anything past the slice limit is folded into a single **Other**, so the chart still totals the report.
- When there is nothing to plot it says why, rather than showing an empty frame.
