Tips
  • The application doesn't allow you to generate a graph if the selected criteria exceed 5 states or 10 years on the Trend Report page. However you can export the data to an Excel worksheet and generate a graph using MS Excel capabilities.
  • You can save the graph from the application by right clicking on the image and selecting "Save Picture As." from the menu. You can then include the saved image in applications such as MS Word and MS PowerPoint by using the Picture option from the Insert Menu at the top. You can also print the individual images from the location they are saved.
  • The application does not currently offer summary reports for certain topics, and certain measures and subtopics within a topic area. For example, summary reports are not available for the "Cigarette Sales" measure under "Economics" topic. However, any kind of summary report or detailed report can be replicated on the Trend Report page by making appropriate selections for the various fields available at the top of the page.
  • The data can be sorted in ascending or descending order by exporting the data to a MS Excel worksheet and using the "Sort Ascending" function available in MS Excel.
  • For optimal printing, set the left and right page margins to 0.5.
