There is no support for categories in charts. You can only get the totals
for the data elements. It is actually the same also in GIS or Data
Visualizer. The only places where data analysis on category level is
supported is using data set reports (obviously), report tables/standard
reports (use the report table type called Data Element Dimension Table), in
excel pivots connected to mydatamart, and via the use of indicators you can
display category-level data in all modules (cumbersome, but can be done).

This is why I am always preaching that the categories should be designed so
that the total for the data element makes sense for data analysis, and not
just to make the auto form look good.
