Design Charts in Crystal Report

Hi There
I am wondering if i can design a chart in Crystal report with the data I define, for example, I have a report for each OS type I use running total to get their data, the reason I am using running total is because their calculation are different, so now i have a data like this
Win        10
HP          20
Solaris   30
now I want to use this data(the above data are get by running total) to draw a chart, is it possible?I am thinking to put those data in an array, but not sure if this can be done in CR?
thanks

You can do it. You can use a 'Shared Variable' in a formula and store the Value(s) of the 'Running Total'. you can create 3 shared variables in one formula or create 3 different formulas.Then use this shared variable in the sub-report and design the chart there in the sub-report. you might have to place this sub-report in the report footer or any section which comes after the 'running total' is calculated.

Control Chart in Crystal Report

Hi
Is it possible to create control chart in crystal report XI (with upper level and lower level limit)

Not sure its possible in standard CR.
It is possible with an add-in product:

Design Invoice in Crystal Report 8.5

Hello,
Crystal report is the software used to create reports and documents for the business software we use (it's built-in).
We have received from the graphic designer a layout design in PDF vectorial format for the sales invoice, but we are having a hard time to make it work with crystal report.
Is there anyway we can use a full background image? Or does it have to be built by areas with pieces of images?
Which is the best image extension/format to be used when adding images? We have noticed that using jpg results in a lot of grain. An image with white background will show not white, but grainy making it impossible to look good within the rest of the document.
We aim to have the invoices both printed or sent by email (PDF or HTM format) and we need it to work with quality both ways. We've noticed as well that using gif (instead of jpg) gives better/good print results, but if we print an invoice that was converted into PDF, though it was not visible on the screen (contrary to jpg), the print will show a grainy background of the image, where it should be white (like described when using jpg).
I would appreciate your help as we're not managing to find a good enough solution.
Thank you.

Hi Rita
There are certain advantages/limitations while using any kind of image formats which are quite generic in nature(whether with crystal or otherwise).
If you think that the pdf document which holds the images in it looks good as per your requirement(since you are comparing the results with it) then would suggest you to insert this pdf file directly as an OLE object.
In Insert>>Ole Object menu you will get to see the option for inserting an Adobe Acrobat Document.
Please break the pdf document into several pages as crystal would be able to display one page in one OLE object.
Thanks

Problem in designing multiple columns crystal report

I have got a crystal report having around 25 columns(all are test boxes) in header section.Out of these 25, I can view only 10 columns in crystal reports design window. When I view the contents as 25% I can view all the columns. Now I want to add one new column almost at the end. How can I add it. As last section of report is not under white background (visible in design window) I'm not able to do any modifications to it.
Please help....

Please post questions related to using Crystal Reports on their
forums.

Standard Level of Effort for Universe design/development and Crystal Report

Can any one please advise the standard level of effort to design and develop (excluding detailed testing) a Crystal report of
a) Low Complexity = __hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = _________hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = ___hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = ____hrs
Thank you in advance.

Hi
It depends on the person experience and expertise on the tool also it depends on understanding of business logic behind the report generation. A person, who is having intermediate knowledge he can develop report with below time lines.
a) Low Complexity = 2hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 4_hrs
c) High Complexity = ____8_____hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = __2_hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 5_hrs
c) High Complexity = __10__hrs
The above are tentetive work hours, again it depends on the logic and complexity of the design.
Thanks,
Sastry

Manipulating Legend Bubble chart in Crystal Report XI

Hi,
I would like to know how to put legend positoning the name inside the chart above marker instead of left botton and right.
for example in the bubble sample of chart.rpt located in Features example, i would like to have Distrito Federal located above the Circle marker.
If not is that possible by progamming with the model object of crystal

I think you can change the data labels but not the legend
i want to include the name "Distrito Federal" inside the blue bubble

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?
I founded post
[Re: Crystal Viewer in Servlet does not show graphics|Re: Crystal Viewer in Servlet does not show graphics]
I have this in web.xml

I haven't file "crystalimagehandler.jsp" I also didn't found "crystal7652571164231307864.png" file. how to resolve this problem?

Yes I did. I created file "crystalreportviewers115" in my "WEB-INF" and coped there all file from "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\".
In tutorial which i founded [here|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2/en/en/JRC_SDK/jrc_java_dg_doc/doc/jrcsdk_java_dg/Tutorials2.html#1459845] they saying that I must copy file "crystalreportviewers115" but in my case I have "crystalreportviewers12" and:
- ChartSupport
- java
- managed
In my case i haven't file "crystalreportviewers115" but "crystalreportviewers12".
In eclipse the structure of my app (its "Dynamic Web Project") looks like:
- myapp:
_______ src

Any advice?

Crystal report with chart und Visual studio 2008

Hi, I have a question.
It is possible to affect a dynamic Title of a chart in Crystal Report.
I want to use the same Report to make different report and I want to know if we can affect the Text property of the Chart with the code-behind from Visual Studio.
Thanks for your response

I don't believe it's possible to programatically change the text boxes of a chart, but you could delete the title and use a formula in it's place.

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 Reports and Organizational Charts

Has anyone used Crystal Reports for creating Organizational Charts? The gap we have is that some manual user overrides are needed to the final output, and the output cannot be modified in Crystal unless exporting the data. The export format is clunky.

Hi,
Did you do any aggregation for your org chart in crystal report?
Or you have to draw it in CR?
If not, pls use excel or other powerful UI oriented tools, as far as i know, crystal handles data well but not the final format.
Thx,
Hao

Overlapping Graphs in Crystal Report

We have a requirement of designing a drilldown for which we have used Group charts in Crystal report. Our requirement is to plot graphs on 2 different summary fields on the same level i.e we require that on change of Zone, graph should be shown for Average of MTBF and MTTR values in that zone. We are using Crystal Report 2008. There is a limitation in crystal that only one summary field can be shown in a single group chart, so we hade created 2 different charts for MTBF and MTTR and overlapped one on the other and made the graph at front as transperent. MTBF is a bar chart and MMTR is a line chart.
It works fine when we do a preview in crystal report, the top graph is transperent and we can see both the graphs.
But when we are viewing the graph through Infoview, the top graph is no more transperent and we cannot view the 2nd graph that is at bottom.
Can anyone help in solving the problem or is their any workaround to display 2 summary fields in one graph in group chart.
Appriciate any immediate help, we are in a critical stage and need to solve the problem ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Suchi...

Thanks for the promt reply.
We are not exporting the report, We are directly vieweing it in info view.
I have very little idea about infoview. Can you please let us know how we can change the setting for infoview and who can do this. We just have access to Crystal report and the Business View manager to create and use the prompt group and save our rpt file so that we can view it through infoview.

Crystal Reports Std | Visual Studio 2008

Hi guys,
When creating charts in Crystal Reports Std (bundled with VS2008) is there any way to (programmatically or in the report designer) modify chart series names?
Thanks,
Stu.

Hi guys,
I've found out that you need to upgrade to a later version of Crystal Reports.
My company had a spare license for CR2008 which included the update for Visual Studio 2008.
I also found that I had to create the report in CR2008 to gain access to additional features i.e. modifying series names for charts.
Then import it into my project.
Thanks anyway,
Stuart.

Waterfall Diagram with Crystal Reports

Dear Xperts ; )
at the moment we face a problem with creating waterfall diagrams in Crystal Reports based on BEx Queries.
They work very nice with positive values, but not with the negative ones.
Does anyone have experience creating waterfall diagrams?
And btw is it possible to create them also showing negative values?
We found some tools for xcelsius, but not for crystal reports. But we have no xcelsius here at this customer.
I would be very thankful for any hints and tipps.
Thanks in advance.
