Graph a Single Analyte

A user recently asked:

“How can I graph a single analyte in the LIMS or in Excel?”

Use the Analyte Comparison report on the Samples menu to create a quick trend graph for a single analyte. In the Analyte Comparison Setup screen, select the single analyte, enter your sample query criteria, enable the “Include Graph(s)” option, click the Query button, then click the Preview button to view the report. The graph will appear below the tabular data on the report’s last page.

If you prefer to create your own graph in Excel, export the Analyte Comparison report (with or without the graph) to the generic LIMS Export Template and the selected analyte’s results will be found in worksheet column C labeled “1” for the report’s first analyte.
