Cumulative displays values in the chart as cumulative over time. For example, you have spent $100 in 2012 and $200 in 2013. When you chart those expenses with this option selected, the bars (for example) will show $100 for 2012 and $300 for 2013 ($100 + $200). If you chart those expenses without selecting this option, the chart will display $100 for 2012 and $200 for 2013.
This option is useful when displaying cost because you can see the total (cumulative) cost at the end of the chart.
- Show Markers displays a dot on the chart wherever there is a number.
- Show Legend displays the chart legend or key. This contains a list of the variables in the chart and allows you to identify items on the chart.
