Make thematic map for each column in a table in ArcGIS

Question

I have a table with header like
LocationId, Jan, Feb, Mar,.....Dec

I would like to make a graduated symbol map for all the locationIDs for each month, and make an output as a jpg/pdf file. What is the easiest way to do this in ArcGIS?
Thanks!

Comment - I can work on it one by one, but what if I get 20 columns to work with? Do I need to do it using ArcObject?

Yes, you can automate this using ArcObjects.

• Use this link to render/set class breaks for your fc field (setup a loop to loop through each of your fields you want to create a map for).

• Use this export snippet to export out each map (call export class within your field loop).
