Create a new calculation chart
To create a new calculation chart, open the Calculation page and switch to the Cost Center Plan view.
Drag e.g. a cost center from the cost center plan on the left hand side to the calculation chart on the right hand side - repeat this step for additional cost centers.
A dialog asks to select the resource and how to add the series to the calculation chart.
Select the option Show itemized values to display each meter point of the selected resource.
This means if a cost center has 2 meter points assigned for electricity - select Show itemized values to see both meter points and the sum of them in the chart (3 bars shown in the chart), otherwise the chart will only show the sum of the meter points (1 bar in the chart).
