Data by Row for a chart?

Hi,
I have a dataset which displayes data in a row (no of documents in each month)
So, basically I get 12 columns and one row with value for each month.
I want to create a Bar Chart, but can i supply the data by row?
I have to add 12 data fields to the Bar chart currently and they all show up
in different colors because of that. Is there a way for me to drop the row as
a series (like in excel?)
Thanks,Hi,
Can anyone please let me know if this is possible?
Along with the (unanswered) questions posted before, i also wanted to know
if it is possible to have one series as a line chart and one series as a Bar
chart on the same graph? if yes, can someone PLEASE tell me how? THANKS

same identical value for all values (under appearance - series styles).

properties dialog. In the dialog go to the Data tab and edit the properties
of your trend data series. The "Edit chart value" dialog should pop up. In
this dialog go to the Appearance tab and select "Plot data as line".
