Displaying "Top N and Other" in Pie Chart

Question

Hello All,
As the subject implies, we are trying to display in pie charr top 5 products by sales and bucket rest of the product sales in "Others". Oracle provided documentation gives below code. But I am not sure as how we can package this in view which can be used in chart
RETURN "Top5Companies" AS SELECT
"coName" AS "companyName",
SUM("txnID") AS "numTxn"
GROUP BY "coName"
ORDER BY "numTxn" DESC
PAGE(0,5)
RETURN "Others" AS SELECT
'Others' AS "companyName",
SUM("txnID") AS "numTxn"
WHERE NOT ["coName"] IN "Top5Companies"
GROUP

Hi, 
For your first question, Other should show up if you have more than 10 groups generated.  Looking at the Group Tree, how many groups show up? 
What happens if you did a Top5 instead of 10?  Does Other show in the Group Tree? 
For your second question, Crystal will group on unique values regardless if the group is on a field or formula.  I have a sneaking suspicion there is either a leading or trailing space in the name.  Use the Trim function to remove the white spaces like: 
IF (IsNull({Command.AcctPriKey}) or length(ToText({Command.AcctPriKey}))<1)
then Trim ({Command.custname})
else Trim ({NAcct_.Nacct});
For your third question, throw the iif format out.  That was introduced because of dBase years ago and most people I know hate using it.  Go with the traditional.  Easier to read and figure out. 
Good luck,
Brian
