Crystal 2008 Pie Chart Display Issues

Hello all,
I am having some problems with the Crystal Viewer displaying charts and legends. Basically, what is going on is, I have a report that displays a pie chart and legend containing data on departments within a store. I have 39 departments that need to show in the chart/legend, but only about 33 show up on the chart and 24 show up in the legend. Does anyone have any ideas if this is a limitation of the chart or anything?
TIA
-Coty

There is no limitations for pie chart and legend. maximise the chart through edge draging.it shows all(increase the chart size)...
All the best,
Praveen

Crystal 2008 Pie Chart Labels

This is my first experience building a pie chart in Crystal. I usually try to avoid using them. I can't get the labels to arrange properly. I unchecked "Auto Arrange". That doesn't seem to help. When I refresh with new data the labels move (which I understand that must happen when the slices change shape). When I try to manually drag them to the center of the pie they often disappear. Even the option to center the label doesnt really center the label. Having the same issue with the values. Can anyone help? I'm close to switching to another chart type.

Hi,
I'm not sure if you've already switched to another chart type already. If this is still an issue, could you let me know the exact version of CR (Help > About).
If the version is not SP3 (12.3.x.x), I would recommend that you upgrade to the latest Service Pack. Unchecking the Auto arrange option should work fine for the pie chart.

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,

Crystal Reports Pie Chart showing Sum 100% in Legend. How to remove?

I have a Pie chart which displays correctly but in the Legend is displayed the values with the correct percentages AND the Sum showing 100%.
I need to either remove the Sum line or be able to change the text from the report since I have to produce the report in 4 languages and the Sum always shows up in the language of the server.
the legend looks something like;
value1 25%
value2 25%
value3 75%
Sum 100% <------ this line must go or be changed (e.g. in Italian as Totale)
Running a server for each language is not an option
There are a variable number of values so I cannot overlay a rectangle on a fixed position. (awfull solution)
Is there any way I can simply turn off the Summ (not the whole legend which is needed)?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008
Best Regards
Chris Ryder

Well Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
The client is very specific about the look and feel so I cannot change to not using a legend. However, the discussions serves to confirm that it is NOT possible which is actually just as useful.
In Conclusion
To restate the problem the client has a report which can be displayed in one of four languages by choice from the end user. The report contains a pie chart which displays the various segment names and percentages as a legend. At the bottom of this legend appears automaticaly the word Summ in the langauge of the the 'Server Locale' (in our case german Summe) and the 100% value.
I wished to know if it was possible to either change the language of this word (without changing the server as I do not have access) or to remove it altogether.
The answer is NO it is not possible to remove only this word or to change it in anyway.
Our final workaround is;
we hide the Legend on the graph and build it as a seperate entity next to the graph. Not ideal as everything is then done twice and we have an indirect link between the segment colours and the legend colours which is not apparent directly in the report. But at least the client has signed off on the report.
once again thank you for taking the time to think about the problem.

Crystal reports pie chart

Hi,
I have a record with 2 fields: a date field called 'mydate' and a text field called 'yesno'.
There are about 100 records in the database.
I want to produce a pie chart that will only produce the amount of 'YES' values in the 'yesno' field and show these values on the pie chart by month.
Im pretty new to crystal reports, so if you could give me a step-by-step, that would be great.
Thanks.
J.

James,
I don't quite understand. Is the detail amount correct, just displayed as percentages, or is the actual percentage being displayed.
If the detail amount is being displayed as a percentage, under Chart Expert -> Options -> Number Format is where you can format the field.
If it's the actual percentage being displayed, you're going to have to change the Show Value you're basing the chart on.
I hope this helps.

SSRS 2008 Pie chart Total

Hi ,
I have pie chart with value 30 ,10, 10.
My legend showing category wise values but I also want to show Total value 50 in graph .Is it possible .
Akhilesh Sahu Sr.Software Developer

Hi Akhilesh,
If I understand correctly, you want to show total value on the legend. As per my understanding, a legend item is connected to an individual series on the chart in Reporting Services. The chart automatically adds items into the legend base on the series that
are generated from your data. So in your scenario, you want the totals show on the legend, then you need to customize the legend. While in SQL Server Reporting Services, the custom legend is not supported in chart control.
To work around the issue, I suggest that we can delete the original legend and create a custom legend outside the chart area by using a tablix control. In this case, we can show the total on the tablix. For more details, please see the following thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/cfb4fa19-b2ba-426a-804b-b5ea83d70d62/ssrs-2008-chart-legend-missing-customitems-property
If you have any other question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 Patch13832750 - Pie Chart 3D issue

Hi,
Since i apply the patch 13832750 I have an issue with 3D Pie chart.
The chart is malformed, there are lines which fall outside the graph..
I uninstalled the patch but the issue persists.
Have you already see this problem?
Thanks,
Adrien

Haven't seen this issue, but I may be able to help with two suggestions:
1. NEVER use pie charts, they don't display information well
2. Never add 3d clutter to any type of chart, it only makes the chart more difficult to process and understand
Great source for information on this is Stephen Few at http://perceptualedge.com
Hope this helps,

Pie Chart display problem

Hello,
Pie chart is not displayed when I tried this sql with 'order by' clause.
select null, b.subject_name, count(a.subject) cnt
from schooltemp a, subject b
where a.subject = b.subject_id
group by b.subject_name
order by cnt desc
This sql works only when 'order by' clause is removed.

Hello Marco,
I think I've found the cause.
That was not because of "order by" clause, but because of the length of column data used in the legend section.
When the column data for legend is longer than 38 chars, this SVG chart becomes blank in my case.

Regarding Pie Chart Display

Hi this is Prasad,
                         I want to display a pie chart with the associated results from the query template.It is working fine if I have any values in the database.I want to Display the Text 'No Data is Found' if i dont have data in the database.Is it possible to display like this.Can anyone help on this.
Thanks,
Prasad.

The 'No Data Available' message only displays when a fatal error occurs but not 0 rows (not desirable in this case). How about adding the UpdateEvent in your PARAM tags and in the corresponding function doing something like this:
var myApplet = document.APPLETNAME;
var myChart = myApplet.getChartObject();
if (parseInt(myChart.getNumberOfDataPoints(1)) > 0) {
   myChart.setTitle("You have pie slices");
} else {
   myChart.setTitle("No Records Found");
myApplet.setUpdateEventEnabled(false);
myApplet.updateChart(false);
myApplet.setUpdateEventEnabled(true);
This should allow you to use standard stuff and not incorporate monkey business with hidden/visible divs and/or additional applets just for running separate queries.

Pie chart display error

Hi

MTA - CNMT Chart display issue

hi All,
I am having issue displaying all the 'Milestones' associated to a Network in CNMT.
Milestones created are checked with 'Trend Analysis' checkbox in 'Milestone - Basic Data' tab.
The activities are 100% confirmed and the Actual date of the activity is copied over to 'Actual date' field for the Milestone.
I checked the graph axis to display the 'Date range' which falls within the 'Actual Dates' of Milestones. It is showing only 'One' milestone, but not others (there are 2 more milestones which fall in the same date range and the activity is 100% confirmed).
Please suggest if I am missing something here.
-thnx in advance

Yes, I did create a new project version and Saved it Via CN41. The Data has been refreshed via Edit -> Scope of current data -> All fields in CN41. The chart is still showing only 'ONE' milestone.
Ex: The milestone currently being displayed in the chart is related to an activity which was confirmed on 26 Dec 2011. There are two more milestones related to two different activities which were confirmed on 30 Dec 2011, 10 Jan 2012. These are missing from the chart display.
Moreover, the system displays the following message:
Diagnosis
You have restricted the number of milestones to be displayed by using operative milestone data.
Procedure
To display all the milestones for the project, choose View -> Historical milestones.
SAP Library states:
Historical curve:
This standard view displays those milestones that have the MTA indicator set at the time of the current report.
These milestones are displayed across the entire reporting period, also when the indicator was not set for them at an earlier reporting time.
The Historical Curve is what I am assuming is needed to display all the Milestones on a particular reporting date. I checked in CNMT -> View -> Choose Dates, which shows the Milestones & Reporting times. I guess I am missing something else.
Please advise.

Excel 2007 pie chart conversion issue

I'm having issues converting my Excel 2007 spreadsheet that contains several pie charts into pdf. It will convert fine for everything but the pie charts. Their edges or outlines look perfect in Excel and the print preview, but once converted to pdf they're all choppy and rough looking. How can I fix this, as it makes the pdf look very unprofessional. I'm on Vista with all the latest updated, use office 2007 with all updates installed and adobe acrobat 8 with all the updates. I tried converting it through the acrobat feature in excel, as well as the print to pdf option. I even went so far to reinstall office 2003, with the same result. the pies were looking a bit smoother, but still way too choppy. how can i get adobe to convert perfect circular pie charts?
thanks!

From the ribbon>Acrobat>Create PDF. This gives me the ability to choose which tabs I want to include in the report.
I made PDF Printer my default and it worked! Thanks!
Why do you think my ribbon function doesn't work?

Pie Chart displaying percentages

Good Morning,
I'm hoping someone has had experience creating a pie chart
with percentage values and is wiling to offer some assistance
because I've tried many ways and still came up short.
The data table I'm using contains two columns: type (A, B, C,
etc) and amount (100, 250, etc).
In order to create a chart showing what percent of the whole
each type is, I need to sum all the amounts for all types then
divide each type by the sum of all amounts (to create each slice).
Any suggestions on how to do this through CFquery and
CFchart?
Thanks in advance,
Sue

Add this line in the graph you are putting in RTF template.
Right click the image, properties and the last tab web.
add this under the graph node.
To get the actual Value use this.
<SliceLabel textType="LD_VALUE"/>
Other vaules you can use are
LD_TEXT_PERCENT, LD_VALUE , LD_TEXT , LD_PERCENT

Post Author: ermiller

I have a chart that displays its data correctly 11 out of 12 times...and I can't seem to get the last one to work correctly. Here's the issue:
I have a table of data that looks like this:
REGION                                   GAIN                           LOSS                      NET
ALL                                           =SUM(BELOW)          =SUM(BELOW)       =SUM(BELOW)
REGION 1                                  10                               (1)                          9
REGION 2                                  20                               (2)                          18
REGION 3                                  30                               (7)                          23
REGION 4                                  40                               (0)                          40
I have a "Data Display" area that has the following formulas in it:
CRITERIA                                   GAIN                           LOSS                    NET
[USER INPUT]                           =VLOOKUP([USER INPUT],[TABLE ABOVE],0,[2,3,4 FOR EACH COLUMN])
If the user enters 'REGION 1', 'REGION 2', 'REGION 4, or 'REGION 4', the data is displayed in the column chart perfectly. However, if the user selects 'ALL', the process doesn't work and displays 0s in each of the columns above.
Does any one have any ideas on how to fix that issue or what could be causing it in the first place? I just noticed that the same thing occurs if I use a Grid component as well...even though Excel is processing the data accurately.
Thanks in advance,
Erik

Hi,
Without trying out your actual data, the first thing that comes to mind is that you aren't using all the options in VLOOKUP. I've discovered that Xcelsius requires all arguments even optional ones in many formulas but this isn't document). The last argument is TRUE (default) for the closest match, and FALSE for exact match. If the user can only enter from a set of values which are known to be in your lookup table, then either one will work but you should still specify this last argument.
