Create user-defined step using a selection frame
In a two-dimensional chart, you can use a selection frame to select a particular data area and define it as a vuser-defined dimension step. With a selection frame, you select dimension values, combine them into one user-defined dimension step and add it to the dimension.
In top-flop charts and multiple charts, such as the multiple pie chart, the selection frame feature is not available.
In distribution and bubble charts, not only the values of the dimension axis, but also the values of the measure axis are transferred.
