Fluent: How to Plot Temperature vs Time in Transient model

  I have temperature results from a Transient 2D axisymmetric Fluent model in ANSYS Student 2019 R2.
  
  I created a Surface, Point, at the coordinates of the model I want to report temperature.
  
  I created a Report using that Surface to print the temperature at the end of the solution.
  
  I want to plot Temperature at that point vs Time.
  
  I look on the XY plot but I can't see how to set the X axis to Time.
  
  How can I either make the plot or write data to a file to plot outside Fluent?

  You need to enable report file once creating report definition or later. Afterwards you can xy plot that file later.

  Here is my report definition
  
  When I Compute, it prints to the Console.
  
  Calculation complete.
  
  Vertex Maximum (c)
  
  midpoint 85.787439
  
  Here is the window for Edit Report File
  
  Now I get this while the calculation is running...
  
  This is what I was looking for. Thanks.
