Pie Chart legend label icon

Hi, is it possible to change the label icons of a Pie Chart legend? I have a pie chart with genre distribution % and would like to set the male and female genre icons instead of the color.
Thank you

Hello Pedro,
in general you can' t change the label icons in SSRS - I assume you mean with "label icons" the small colored rectangles indicating each of the sections in a pie chart. But I have a workaround for you: Simply not to use the build-in labeling mechanism
of the chart, but to create an individual textbox with the needed symbols for your purposes. In that textbox you have to set an expression for showing the needed male or female symbols as Unicode-chars. There's a text function for that, I mean something like
"=ChrW(&XXX)" is the appropriate expression. XXX has to be the character string of the Unicode-chartset, if you want e.g. the male symbol as an icon. Unfortunately, I can't post links, but it's quite easy to find via Bing or Google the needed
chars or signs in the Unicode-Table (use e.g. "Unicode table" as search string and you find a great site for retrievaling chars and symbols in the Unicode-Table).
Generally spoken, I wouldn't use pie charts at all, normally bar charts are the better choice in visualizing data - with bar charts it's easier to recognize skales than in a pie chart and you can often label bars in a direct way, so you don't need an extra
legend.
I hope I could help you, but feel free to ask me, if yo have further questions

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

CRVS2010 Beta 2 Pie chart legend displaying "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"

Instead of displaying "Total" at the bottom of my pie chart legend I am getting the following text: "_e_Total:1_n_pseudoloc_"
The values and percentages calculate correctly, but the label is unusual.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my pie chart. My report was fine before I did my update to CRVS2010 Beta 2. I was using crystal report 11.5.
My report is really simple. I have a resume chart that you can drilldown. Each drilldown show the same chart for the selected
item.
I'm using Windows 7 Professionnel 64 bit in french (canada version).

Chart Legend Labels

Hi all,
It's extremely annoying to have to go thru all chart legend label displays and rename them to something else other than the formula.
For example, I have a Sum of @Formula that's displaying and in order to change that, I have to go into every single chart and right click > edit label
Is there a more round about way to do this update once?
Thanks,

yes that's annoying. try this if you are willing to try a workaround...
1) put a crosstab on top of the legend that contains your formula as the row.
2) while still in the crosstab expert, get rid of the gridlines, the cell padding
3) exit the crosstab expert and change the row height to match the line height of the legend
4) change the background of the crosstab so that you can't see the legend
a bit more work, but it works.

Crystal Reports 2008 Pie Chart Data Labels

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot get the option to put pie chart data labels in the center of each slice. There's an option to place them there, but everytime I select it, the graph reverts to putting the data labels on the outside with leader lines. I was able to do it once, for one pie chart, but have not been able to get it to work for any others. I've even tried creating a pie with only two slices in case there's a slice size limit below which the data is placed outside. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it worked once and now won't work again.
Thanks,
-Jim

Hi Jim,
The issue could be faced because of the 'Auto-arrange' layout option enabled from Chart Expert within the report.
This option allows Crystal Reports to reset the chart layout to its original size and position
To uncheck the 'Auto-arrange option':
- First Go to Chart Expert-
- Click on the Options Tab
- Uncheck Auto - Arrange
- Click OK
I hope this helps,

How to display PIE chart Axis label horizontally?

Hi
Currently my PIE chart axis label is displying in 2 lines. How make it to display in one line?
Thank you

hi,
For Pie chart there will be no X-axis or Y-axis terms generally.
Label/Text could be one of the following.
Title?
or Sub Title?
or Foot note?
Right Click -> Format Title . Reduce the font size such that it fits into a single line.

Xcelsius - Embedded 'Jpg' logo not visible, Pie chart Legends not visible

Hi,
   I am new to xcelsius. could you please help.
   I have two issues.
1. I incorporated Logo (JPG FILE) and selected options Embed file, resize image to component, but image is not visible when I preview. Why? What needs to be done to make logo visible in preview(swf file). I did not export yet to Infoview though.
2. Legend values are cropped. I have 35 legends that are to be listed for pie chart. I can see only 31 and remaining four not visible (two from beginning, 2 at the end). I reduced font to lowest visible value i.e. 8 and increased height max possible that looks good . How to make them visible? or make them to fit to chart. Is there any option? Legend values are towards right of chart.
Please help.
BR, Nanda Kishore

Hi,
   Are you using Image Component to insert your JPEG, if not try that. It will work as expected.
   As for your pie chart legends, it will work as long as your Pie Chart is large enough to fit all regions onto the screen.
   Try a simple test just to prove that concept.
      - Create 2 columns in Excel
      - Make Column A your Region Column. Insert up to 35 records
      - Make Column B you Data column. Also insert up to 35 records.
      - Now map your data into the Pie Chart and make sure you reduce the fonts of the region to "8" (Smallest it can go)
      - Preview it.

Pie Chart Legend Question

Running CR XI R2
I have a pie chart that is displaying both Percentages and values in the legend. Is there any way to remove the $ from the value in the Legend as the Value is not currency but a count.
Thanks
Joe

I tried that and it didn't work. I've actually played around with it more and got them to go away
I don't have data elements (labels) on the pie chart slices, and I'm sorry i forgot to mention that. I put the labels on, changed their formatting and took them off again and it affected the legend in the way I was hoping for.
Thanks for the response

Pie Chart Legend not displaying full names

Hi All,
In a RTF template, we have displayed a PIE chart. In the PIE chart, when the number of legends are more, the legends are getting truncated on the generated PDF report.

Pie Chart Legend - colors and sorting value

Hi,I have a pie chart with around 20 'segments' representing names of people - so it looks like several of them have the same color.So my first question is do the standard 12 colors repeat after 12 segments have been 'defined' - can this be extended with custom colors?. I know you can set colors for specific values but as the list is dynamic, I can't do that. I also have a legend defined which shows the person's name and then the value - either a percentage or a count etc. From top to bottom, the legend lists the entries alphabetically by the person's name - however, it's not always easy to tell which name is associated with which 'segment' and using labels is not an option as they are too long and there are too many of them to be readable So what I would like to do is have the legend displayed in numerical size order - e.g. person with largest % is at the top, smallest % is at the bottom etc.I've been looking at the Chart Expert, CR Help and the forums but have not seen an answer to either question - I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's possible or not (and if so, how do I do it!).Thanks 

Hi,
If you go to the Chart Expert, on the data tab, you can choose the Top N option.Â From within there you can get your legend sorted based on the highest or lowest percentage.Â You can also group information so that you only see the top 5 or lowest 10 or whatever you want.
Also when I create a pie graph based on 20 plus pieces of data it isn't resusing the colors, but they are somewhat similar. I usually do a group of the top 10 or so, then have an others category for situations like this.Â

Reporting Services Chart Legend Label

I am creating a chart from analysis services cube data
data is like this
District Year Value
A 2001 10
B 2002 29
(null) 2003 19
The charts are creating fine but the legends are not showing fine. In series group i have also tried to use an expression to fix the null label.
For null value the label is created as "Series 1". I don't want this to happen. for null value i want my chart legend to show as "State"
Any help will be appriciated
Regards

Hi,
You can use expression to achieve that. In series group, set the group on expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Also, set the label expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Hope this helps.

Pie chart: Legend position

By default, the SVG pie charts that HTML DB renders show all the legends in a box off to the side of the pie.
Is there a way to show each legend next to the slice that it corresponds to?
Thanks

Bump. Thanks.

Pie chart legend options

I have a spreadsheet with "expense categories" in one column and "dollar figures" in the second column.
When I highlight the columns and create a chart I DON'T want to have to use "show legend" (with the color circles at the bottom) as it repeats my expense categories and just takes up space.
What I want is what shows up with I click on the pie chart. When I do that, it changes my spreadsheet and shows the corresponding colors to the left of the categories.
Is there a way to have my spreadsheet legends show up like in the picture below to the left? It goes away the minute I click off the pie chart or try to print.
Thanks in advance.

See if this gets you started
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54961502/For%20Apple%20Forums/Legend%20in%20Table.number s
I put the legend in a separate table that consists of a single column. The column contains formulas that refer to the data table (Table 1). The formulas are not affected by sorting the data table, you can sort it all you want and the legend will be correct. I filled each cell with color and used conditional formatting to make it white text on a white background if there is no header text for that row. I also made the borders white so they would blend into the page. Add text in one of the empty rows of the data table and you'll see how it acts.
Notice that a pie chart has only six different colors, then the colors repeat. You can modify that but you'll also have to modify what I did by changing the legend cells to the the new colors. I changed the colors by turning on the legend, using the magnifying glass in the Color window to get the color, then drag/dropping the color on the cell. I do not know how many different colors you can use.
I recommend locking the legend table so it cannot be modified by the user.
I recommend turning Wrap off in the data table. If text wraps it makes the row taller which will cause the legend and the table to become misaligned. Changing the font, changing rows sizes manually, or moving the table will do that too.
I recommend locking the chart so it cannot be modified by the user.
