Chart options: Y axis scale

Question

Hi,
I created a bar chart for a report that simly displays the count for each distinct value of a field.  I would want the Y scale (which displays the count) to only present integer values (its a count, so it's obvious there can't be any non-integer values).  Currently it's set to auto select the range and the number of divisions, for which the range it's ok but the divisions don't always come out as all integers.  From what I can see, the only way to do this would be to set the min to 0, max to the max count on the report (which is normaly what the auto range does), and the number of divisions as the max count minus one.  I don't really see any other way.  Apparently there's no way to do this dynamically (like in a formula), and I don't think I can use static range values.  Is there any way to do this?  I just want to confirm what I know and see if there is any other way to do it.
Also, this is probably not the forum to post this, but just in case, is there any way to do this programatically in code without needing extra libraries or extra tools?
Thanks,
Diego

Answer 1

First of all, by static and dynamic data, do you mean the options for the chart?
Also, I don't want to display the max count on the chart.  I would just like to use it on the options for the chart's Y axis as the max value, although I don't think I need to, since the auto scale already does that.  I think the only thing I should need is set the number of divisions to display on the Y axis.  For example, if the chart has two bars, one for lets say color red, and one for color yellow, and lets say on the data there were 4 red and 6 yellow.  So the chart will have two vertical bars, one for red going from 0 up to 4, and one for yellow, going from 0 up to 6.  The chart will automatically make the range on the Y scale go from 0 up to 6, but it might make the divisions at say 1.5, 3, and 4.5.  But I would like it to not use decimal values for those divisions, instead only divide the axis on integer values, like on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  To do that, from the options the chart gives me, I can do it by setting a specific number of divisions on the axis (in this case it would be 5 divisions).  I just want to know if there is any way I can set that in a formula or something, of if it just has to be the same value for every report (without having to change it directly on the Crystal Reports editor, because the reports get generated automatically with different sets of data).
