Use these dialogs when you want to add a new color scheme grouping or edit an existing one.
To reach the Add/Edit Color Scheme Grouping dialog:
In the Visualization Properties dialog for a table, a cross table, or a heat map, go to the Colors page.
To add a new grouping, open the Add menu and select Color Scheme Grouping. To edit an existing grouping, select the grouping of interest from the list, then click Edit. Only groupings that you have added to the list can be edited or deleted.
Note: If this dialog is opened from a heat map or cross table, the labels will read "Available axis values" and "Selected axis values" instead. This means that in the descriptions below, each reference to a "column" should be replaced by "axis value".

Note: You cannot combine columns containing different data types in the same color scheme grouping. The exception being the five numeric data types: Integer, LongInteger, Real, SingleReal, and Currency, which can be added to the same grouping. The “data type” in this case is called Numeric, but is a collection of these five data types rather than an actual data type.
