How to include both percentages and number values in a cross-tab chart?

Question

Hi,
I created a cross-tab and a multiple pie chart using Crystal XI. I would like to include percentages as well as numbers in my pie charts' slices. Seems I can either show % or numbers but not both!
The multiple pie chart compares different charges for different Departments. It has an On Change Of by "DifferentDepartments" and "ItemCharges" (e.g. Normal, Double Time, Time & half, Shift, Meal... )  and the Summary value is sum of "Labour".
Is there any workaround available? Please advice.
Thanks,
Nazee

hi Nazee,
this is possible sometimes, using a workaround, and depending on the values you're showing.
instead of using your department field as the On Change Of field, create a new formula which is something like
{departmentfield} + chr(10) + totext({your group level summary})
as an example using the xtreme sample databae
{Customer.Customer Name} + chr(10) +
totext(Sum ({Customer.Last Year's Sales}, {Customer.Customer Name}))
now in your Pie Chart switch the department field for the new formula you just created.
i have attached a sample report...however, please note that the forums sometimes don't work with these attachments. so you can try different browsers or right clicking on the attachment and doing a save first etc.
