data in your chart.<br />

The Grouped layout rearranges your chart to reveal various different groupings of<br />

interconnected entities, and the relationships between them. It is useful when you<br />

have a chart that contains many linked entities. A Grouped layout allows you to<br />

members of two or more groups.<br />

The Grouped layout arranges the contents of your chart so that groups of<br />

interlinking entities are displayed at the center of the chart and other groups “fan<br />
