Questions Around Detached Graphs

[#1]

I have a detached graph.  First can I get clearification on what detached means?  It looks like to me once it is detatched the graph will no longer be affected by making any selections within the data.  IE I have a graph that only shows Yearly Totals, and I have the graph labled as such.  When I detatch it if someone slects a month this graph should not filter down to that months totals.

Secondly It seems that the detatched option is resetting itselt, attaching the chart back to the system without my intent.  If this is realy happening, why?

Thirdly, how do I get the (detatched) wording out of the caption?

Instead of using the detached option, you could use set analysis in your expression(s). 

So you have a graph named Yearly Totals and want to ignore if someone selects a month.  Your expressions should look something like this:

=Sum({<Month = >}Value)

This will take the sum of Value, and it will ignore any selections in the Month field.

I hope this is helpful!
