We have been asked if you could use a parameter to select different chart types in your report. The simple solution is to have a chart of each type in your report.

Insert a section for each chart (e.g., Group Header 1a, Group Header 1b, etc) and place each chart in a different section.

Then, format each section to conditionally to suppress the charts you don’t want to display according to the parameter value.

See the CR Chart tool, if you really want effective charts.
