Pie chart labels prepended with "@" symbol

Hello
I have a pie chart and it has two values, each of which is a formula
When I view the Pie chart the Data labels and legend are prefixed with @
The Data Value formula name is Open Online, so the data lable on the Pie is @Open Online, as it the legend
It does not look great on the chart
is there any way to use a forumla as a data value in a chart, but to NOT have the @ symbol as part of the name?
This chart is developed in Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
I am using a Pie Chart at the moment, the Pie has 1 On Change Of and 2 Data Values
Best regards
Patrick

I believe if you select the label object on the design page and right-click, you will have the option to edit the label properties.

Who notes you can hard code a value but not alter any dynamic values...

Pie Chart Labels - 5's turn into 6's at 100% zoom on screen but print OK

I have a really odd problem; an application I developed that is changing the numerals on the labels of a pie chart.
All 5's change to 6's. This problem is occuring on multiple end user workstations. It only displays incorrectly at 100% zoom level on the screen. If they change the zoom level, or print the report, the numbers appear correct.
I've put a screenshot in a photobucket in case anyone wants to see. One is a .png and one is a (larger) .bmp.
http://s1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc493/fohlinedata/
Adding to the problem is that I'm unable to reproduce the issue, either on my dev. machine or on a test machine.
The application was developed with VS 2005, and the setup program was created using the 2005 SP1 msm.
I've tried searching to no avail, and I'm hoping someone has an idea on this one!

Hello,
That is very strange. I think it has to do with either Microsoft's USP10 or GDIPlus dll's.
Try changing screen resolution or screen size and possibly the DPI settings to see if it corrects the problem.
They may wan to update their Video card drivers also.
What version of CR are you using? It may be resolved in some service or fix pack. The charting dll is from a third party so you may want to use [Modules |https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip]to verify they are all using the same runtime files also.
Thank you

Pie chart in combintion with a Slider control in Dashboards 4.0

Hi,
Following the my requirement for creating a dashboard.
1) i have to display employee count for different regions in a pie char for a particular month.
2) This month needs to be selected from a slider control(Horizontal).
3) The slider control needs to show Month and year (MON-YYYY format) for the last 13 months.6 months above the slider and 7 months below the slider.
4) So when a user selects a particular month by dragging to the particular month in slider, then the pie chart should display employee count for the selected month.
5) And Also the slider control by default should show last month employee count in pie chart when the dashboard is opened every time.
So Any body knows how to implement this requirement please send me the solution in a step by step approch.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Nanda Kishore.

Hi,
Set up your data like this
For the months we just use 0 for the selected month and we mark our min & max.
(I just took a few months, just as test, in real, you have to have all your months, off course)
Link the slider component, data to B2, min to B3 and max to B7
Create combobox, link labels to cell B3:B7
setup of data insertion, see screenshot below. (destination: j4:J7)
for behaviour column do as follows...
Your pie chart component
results in
now you have to put some makup on your dashboard, (hide the combobox - hide the values -6,0and 7), create some textcomponents to show the correct months (create a key row (-6 >0>7) and a month-text row), you can use vlookup or via a combobox to fetch the correct month-text
Have fun with it

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.

Appleworks SS pie chart labeling

I cannot override the "Series 1-7" labels that serve as the default legend in my pie chart. The data wedges in color (with their percents) are fine, the title of the chart is fine. I just want to put four cells of names (column A) in place of the "Series" messages.

Hi 'rider,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
Select the cells containing the names (in Col. A) and the cells containing the data (in col. B). Press command-M to Make chart.
Select Pie Chart, then Click the General button.
In the General pane, click the radio button for Series in: Rows, and check the box for Use numbers as labels in First column.
Click OK.

Pie chart label

I have a pie chart and the region is limited in width.
Some of the labels are a little long (even if they are abreviations) so that when they are at the center left or right of the pie chart, the labels are not enterily displayed.
I was wondering if there was a way to display the label and value on seperate lines...
I tried to add a chr(13) at the end of my labels in my sql query, but when the graph is displayed it shows something like this:
"my lable"
, "my value"
I haven't find a way to remove the comma, it seems to be hard coded in an apex query...
in the xml definition I can add a newline by doing this
<text><![CDATA[{NAME}
{VALUE}]]></text>
but it only works for the hints label...
btw, I'm using Apex 3.0.1.00.08
anyone can help me?
Thanks
Max

Hi Max
Sorry for not getting back quicker - not sure if it's just me, but all the oracle servers seem to be dying right now!
Anyway, the answer isn't pretty, but it will work:
1 - In your select statement, change the LABEL value to be:
labelfield || CHR(10) || TO_CHAR(valuefield) LABEL
2 - In the custom XML section: Remove {VALUE} from the hints section
3 - Also in custom XML, set show = "NO" in the values section

Pie Chart Labels

Hi,
I am creating a pie chart. On the Pie chart I want to show the labels, values and percentage.
I do not want to show Legend.
Is there an option in Crystal Report that will allow me to show both Values and Percentage for each pie slice?
Currently I can show either a value or a percentage. But I would like to show both side by side below the Pie label.
I am using CR 2008, SP 2
Please advise.

hello all,
you can show both the summary value and the percentage using the following method...
say you have a pie chart that has an On Change Of by country. the summary value is sum of sales.
1) ensure that there is a country group in the report
2) create a new formula, "Chart Title" which is similar to
{country field} + chr(10) +
totext(Sum (, {country field}))
3) change the pie chart On Change Of field to the Chart Title formula
4) in Chart Options, change the Data Lables > Show Value to be a percentage
cheers,
jamie

Pie Chart Label - APEX 4.X

i have made a flash Pie chart and i am trying to make some labeling changes. currently this is my SQL for my chart:
select 'javascript:alert("#VALUE# hours was worked on Project Number #LABEL#");' link,
PROJ_NUM label,
SUM(TIME_WORKED) value1
from "PROJMANAGEMENT"."TIME_TRANS"
group by PROJ_NUM
and it works well but i want the label to show the project number and project name. the issue is that the project name is in a different table. here is an SQL i wrote for a selectlist:
select PROJ_NUM||'--'||PROJ_NAME d, PROJ_NUM return_value
from PROJECTS
order by 1
it would show "0001--Project Name". that is the effect i am looking for. Any Ideas?????

when i try that i get the following error:
1 error has occurred
Failed to parse SQL query!
select 'javascript:alert("#VALUE# hours was worked on Project Number #LABEL#");' link, tt.PROJ_NUM||'--'||p.PROJ_NAME label, SUM(tt.TIME_WORKED) value1 from PROJMANAGEMENT.TIME_TRANS tt , PROJMANAGEMENT.PROJECTS p where tt.PROJ_NUM = p.PROJ_NUM group by tt.PROJ_NUM
Certain queries can only be executed when running your application, if your query appears syntactically correct, you can save your query without validation (see options below query source).

Is there any way to scroll pie chart labels

is there a way to have a scroll bar for the pie chart key
Many thanks

Hi,
I haven't found how to make legend scrollable but I can suggest to put list box with color alerts. The listbox will show each series of pie chart and color alerts will indicate the color of each slice.
So, simply instead of using pie which can't support scrolling in the legend put listbox which supports it.
In addition, I believe you have already been asked for showing values on each slice of piechart. On this week, service pack 3 have been released. By using this service pack, you can start to show values on the charts.

Moving pie chart LABELS

Greetings for the first time. I'll get right to business:
Making pie chart. I want to move the data labels completely outside the chart itself b/c the text is not very legible in its default location. I click on the data label and I notice that Numbers recognizes that I've clicked -- not just the label, but the entire pie slice. So, when I move what I hope is just the label, it moves the whole slice ("explode" for just one piece).
Can I somehow just move the labels?

Go to Inspector per below. You'll have to have a different text color as noted.
Regards,

Issues with multilevel pie chart drill down with push button

I am new to Xcelsius. I am trying to build a multilevel pie chart drill down (one pie chart drilling down to another etc) and I am able to achieve that. Now I want to add a Back Button using Push Button so that I can go up. When I preview, the Push Button goes into two state and I have to double click to go back. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am using the latest Xcelsius. [The source code is here|http://www.woofiles.com/dl-195360-3lTyVM8Z-piechartdrilldownwithpushbutton.xlf]
Thankyou.

Hi Murali
This is exactly the same what i tried to do,
Drill down to 4 levels State -> City-> store etc with 4 pie charts and similar push button to close each level to
go back to previous chart, first run from 1 to 4 works fine, then after closing all the levels and when i am at the pie chart 1
if i click any pie slice it will jump to Pie chart 4 straight,
I tried tracking the issue, all i could find is some how the previous dynamic visibility values are back even after erasing
the data with the PUSH button (Destination cell insertion with blank or 0).
did you find a solution for this issue ?
Thanks
Chandra

How to create Leader Lines for Pie Chart Labels

I like Numbers but the restrictions they force are sometime just too much.
Example: Labels
The restriction of only being able to move a label of a wedge on a parallel axis is ridiculous. Here Excel clearly out shines Numbers.
I want an option to add a leader to a "Value" label so I can move it away from an area that is too crowded or the space for it is limited.
Yes, I know I could just not turn Labels on in Numbers and then use a text box to place the value anywhere I wish and then draw in a leader to fit my needs. But that is no solution just a horrible work-around.
Come on Apple. You've started a nice product here but gee-whiz, golly-gee, it's hard to adopt your products as MS replacements when so many basic features are missing.

AlbertEinstein,
And I don't understand why you are even posting here. What in your reply was useful to my issue? Seriously, if you're here on this board just to spout opinions, might I suggest you take up blogging.
As for me, I'm here to try to find an answer to my problem. If you're knowledgable and know that it can't be done then just saying so the way Badunit did. It wasn't the answer I was looking for but at least he was trying to be constructive.
OK, so to your point. You've been using spreadsheets since Visicalc, good for you. My issue isn't with the spreadsheet part of Numbes, but rather with the charting technology.
Well I was a draftsperson when all there was, was boards and T-Squares. And a common rule is if your information is too close, overlaps, etc to be understood then you use a leader to move it to an area where it is not so cluttered.
Your issues with OpenOffice and MS Office I can't address because I'm not interested in either of those products within this thread.
So please if you have a suggestion as to how to solve my issue then I welcome your comments. But if you're here just to "complain" about others complaining I can just ask, what's your point?

Pie - Chart Web Part - Label Alignment empty

Hello all,
I create lots of Dashboards to display KPIs for my company and I always struggle with the pie chart labels as the always end up overlapping unless I rotate them but that just looks naff.
My frustration and question is that the "Label Alignment" option is empty and therefore does not allow me to select "Open" which is the feature I seek.
Does anyone have an idea why this might be and if there is a work around?
Thank you in advance
Jessica

You would potentially run into this with lookup fields as well, I believe. I would make a column that is single line of text for the purpose of the chart. That would make sure the NUM;# is removed.
