Crystal Report Chart Question

I have created a line chart based on a report that has a Sum $ amount field. I also have a running total field for a "count" of records (ttl by year) Year is currently a group. Because it is a running total I am unable to include it in the chart and it is not working. Can anyone help me figure out how I can count the number of records, per year, on my report and create a chart based on this information?
Thank you.
Karen

Karen,
As you have already grouped on Year you can include the count of records at the group level in group footer section for that year .
Go to Insert Summary select ID or Which field you want the count on select count from the calculate this summary option .Summary Location select the group which is year in your case.
Click OK so you get the record count for the years. then plot the chart accordingly.
Cheers
Rahul

Error Bars - Can Error Bars be added to Crystal Report Charts

I am trying to add or create "error bars" in my cystral report chart (graph). I can add "error bars" in an Excel sheet chart (graph) but I cannot find the functionality in crystal reports.
Is it possible to "error bars" to a crystal report chart. If so, how?

Hi,
I don't see that this functionality or this kind of chart exists in CR.
I would suggest that you log an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com and let our developers look into this.

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,

Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.

Crystal Report Chart Problem: No trendlines with regression

Hi,
I have a severe problem with chart trendlines in Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).
Trendlines with regression do not work, whereas average and moving average work on charts with data axis but not with numerical axis.
Does anyone has an idea, how to solve it.
Best regards
Michael

hi,
Try to create a bar chart with Year, Quarter as dimensions and Sales revenue as measure.
Now your chart has legend which shows quarter values.
Right Click the Legend value Q1 -> Series Options -> Trendline.
Choose the required regression type: Linear/ Polynomial/ Logarthmic/ exponential/ Moving Average.
This will show the required trend line.

Crystal Report Chart not showing up in Web Portal

I have a created a chart using Crystal Reports(runs fine in Crystal) and published it on our Report Server. When I went to look at the report on our Web portal, the text objects were visible however the chart was not. Portal is in JSF technology (IceFaces) on JBoss server.
Anyone know why this happening?

Image toolbar appears over Crystal reports chart in Infoview

I am publishing Crystal reports developed across a Universe in my BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 InfoView. I have done few line charts in the Crystal reports. I am running on Internet Explorer 7 but my clients are running on Internet Exploreer 6.0. When my clients view Crystal reports (in Infoview) on their browser, the charts are identified as images in their infoview by Internet Explorer 6 browser and it keeps showing the Image toolbar ( the small toolbar which popups over the images in IE 6 prompting you to Save this image/Open this image/Save In My Pictures toolbar etc..)
Please try this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/phototoolbar.mspx to know what an image toolbar is.
This little feature got included in Intenet Explorer 6 by which any image identified by the web browser will automatically popup this Image toolbar. It won't happen in Internet Explorer 7.0.
If i am developing a website and do not want this image toolbar appearing over my images in my site I can code accordingly. But i am clueless about the Crystal Reports/Business Objects Infoview environment and how to get rid of this toolbar.
The one option i got is to ask my users who use IE 6.0 to go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced tab->Multimedia ->uncheck the checkbox Enable image toolbar. Unfortunately my users login under citrix environment and their default browser settings will be restored every day morning they login.
Any ideas?

Hi Michael,
Unfortunately BusinessObjects does not control these settings when accessing the InfoView. It sounds like it'll need to be addressed by the system administrator to disable that option in IE through user profiles/applications.

Wallie

Custom data labels in Crystal Reports charts

Hi,
I have a problem with charts in Crystal Reports. The notation prescribe e.g. that positive values appears a plus (+21) and negative values a minus (-21).
The problem is, that I canu2019t assign custom values to the data labels (e.g. the value is 20 but I want to show +20 or 18 or something else).
Furthermore, its a problem that I can't scaling depending on a formula field. This is required that all charts in the report have the same scale and are dynamically depending on the values in the report.
I need a solution to both problems, or a workaround.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Crystal Report chart with VB6 help...

Hello!....I m using crystal report with visual basic 6.......i develop a report in crystal report in which i add a chart control......when i see preview in crystal report and move mouse over chart then on Tool tip i get each data point shown on mouse movement......
but when i open this report in VB...and run project and move mouse over it the i only get "CHART"...for whole movement.....how i can get data values for mouse movement in VB6??.....thanks in advance........

How and Why...
In Crystal Report Designer the viewer is built into the executable and therefore has direct access to the report objects. The Charting dll is also a third party dll which we have hooks into in CR Designer and can get and pass the required info from the charting dll to the internal viewer. It's all processed on the local PC.
In code there are limitations as to what the ActiveX and other viewers have access to due to WEB issues. When viewing reports from a WEB app we are passing each page to the browser in a proprietary "picture" format of each page therefore there is no way to capture where the mouse is when it's over a chart object, it is an embedded picture also. Same for non-web applications, it's a limitation of the browsers and viewers mostly.

Crystal Reports Version Question

Hello,
I am developing a web site using vs 2010 and the compatible version as downloaded from here. I have come across a small issue that I'm sure is easily solvable but I can't find any references to it. When I try to run this solution on another machine or server with crystal reports 10 installed I notice that the graphs colours aren't matching to as set in the report. I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
I tried downloading the redist 32 bit version from here and updating the config file accordingly but when I then generate a report I'm getting a database logon failed error.
Note that if I change the webconfig file back to 10.2.3600.0 from the recently changed 13.0.2000.0 then the report works as expected, except the graph colours aren't using the conditional colours.
Am I doing something horribly wrong?
Cheers,
John.

I'm not sure I understand the details here - I htink the description gets a bit muddled as it goes. E.g.; this:
I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
is a source of confusion for me(?).
In any case, CRVS2010 and CR 10.2 should be (as far as I know, are) side by side compatible. Based on my interpretation of the statement above, I wonder about the runtime being deployed. The CRVS2010 runtime is here:
MSM
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0.zip
MSI 32 bit
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0.zip
MSI 64 bit
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip
Are you using one of the above to deploy the crvs2010 runtime?

Crystal Report Desing question

Hello everybody,
Im a newbie to the Crystal reports envrionment. I have to design a report, using Crystal reports 11 , which will show an entity, its address phone number ets as the main row in the report. If an advanced option is clicked on the filter, a child section will be shown, containing filenames associated to that entity in the database. How do i design this report . Any inputs would be gretaly appriciated. Also this is being done in a Java environment, like the filters and all will be in a jsp page. However .net implementation would be acceptable, as i require the solution if at all this is possible.
Thanks,

Crystal Report Server Questions

We purchased CRSXIR2 from Business objects and have 1 yr maintenance.
I want to upgrade to Crystal Report Server 2008.
Where can I get the media for a 64bit version of Crystal Report Server 2008?
Can 32 bit clients using Crystal Reports 10 or 11 integrate with a 64 bit install of Crystal Report Server 2008?

Enterprise Soft Delivery.
You need a login though:

I believe it's a free upgrade with an ongoing service agreement (at least that's the case with BOE XI R2 to BOE XI 3.0)

Crystal Reports - Charts do not appear on reports in some cases

We have a few reports that include charts on them (created with Crystal 2008 Designer). These reports have run fine for quite a while but this morning we got a support call with a client reporting that though the reports process and appear correctly, the charts do not appear - instead the client can see a box where the charts should be - but no charts appear.
Wait... This has a curve ball...
The same client then ran our application on the SAME machine, but in a VM (virtual machine) on that machine, and now, the charts appear!
I can understand that if a machine is low on memory, charts might not appear - but then why when a VM is used on the same machine do charts suddenly appear?
Is there any way, any suggestion someone can offer by which I can 'trap' this situation in code, PRIOR to producing a report that is going to have a big blank spot where a chart normally appears?
Thanks for any help - much appreciated.

Nope... Not video corruption... We finally figured it out...
Its the 12_0 runtime. Run it, and you dont see any charts, no errors, no warnings, just no charts - update to the 12_1 runtime and voila, charts are suddenly present.
Just to be sure we were not going nuts we uninstalled, reinstalled the 12_0 and no charts again - put in the 12_1 runtime and there they are again.
Problem solved.
