SAP Business One XL Reporter: I added some fields, but the report produces nothing.

While listening to one of the expert sessions, I caught that XL Reporter will not show any information unless a measure (i.e., quantity, Dollar Sales, Etc.) is selected. I had created a simple customer list just to test it out and it kept returning no information. Once I added a value (measure) it produced the list.

I too a look at the sample report pack from SAP and I noticed that when they created a graph (even over expanding groups), they were selecting the cell below the value as well.

When I first added the graph to the report, I selected the expanding row value (e.g., $B$6) only as the data values for the graph and ran the report. The graph only displayed one value, the first line of the expanding row. A little frustrated, I took a look at one of their examples and found that they were selecting the cell right below the expanding row as well (e.g., $B$6 and $B$7, written in Excel as $B$6:$B$7). This produced the results that I was expecting. I did the same thing for the value labels for the graph (e.g., $A$6:$A$7).
