Shade part of a line chart - Crystal 10.5

On my line chart, the Y axis is a percentage 0 - 100%. Is it possible to shade a part of this graph...for example the top part of the chart, from 95% to 100%? This way it is easy for the client to see if the X axis data points are in the "good" range.
Edited by: sdickinsen on May 13, 2011 9:15 PM

Ok, figured it out.
Make it a stacked area chart. Change on of the series to a line, make another area transparent (to allow the gridlines to be seen), and set the max Y axis to 100. (i'm having a percentage chart).
Viola!
Crazy stuff.

Crystal reports in jsp ,the Line chart 's line can't display in jsp?

that is example crystal-reports-10 for Jbuild 2005,
I just modify such in viewreport.jsp:
<crviewer:viewer displayToolbarRefreshButton="true" isOwnPage="true" displayToolbarCrystalLogo="false" displayToolbar="true" displayToolbarExportButton="true"
displayToolbarPrintButton="true" displayGroupTree="false" viewerName="worldsales" reportSourceType="reportingComponent" reportSourceVar="<%= path %>"><crviewer:report reportName="<%= path %>"/></crviewer:viewer>
it can't display a Line chart rpt's line and background's picture, and when I press refresh button report a Error "Error finding JNDI name (yhgl)"
help!!

The jars should be in your installed Crystal Reports folder( \Crystal Decisions\..\java\lib or something like that...). The problem is that your server (Tomcat and others) ignores the system classpath completely (it sets its own in its startup script).
Therefore, in order for Tomcat to find the jars, those jars have to be placed in in %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\. There, they will be available for all your applications. If you don't want them available globally, put them in your particular webapp's WEB-INF\lib directory.

Crystal Reports - Change Line Chart Color Dynamically

Hello,
I have Crystal report 14.
I'm trying to create a line chart and need to be able to set the colors of the lines at the time the report is run. The colors the lines need to be are specified in a database and a different color could be specified each time the report is run.
Can anybody suggest how I would do this?
Thanks
Edited by: Robert4543 on Nov 16, 2011 5:23 PM

I've tried to use 'Color Highlight' to change the color of the lines, but it only changed the colors of the markers on the line, not the actual line itself. Is there a way to get it to change the color of the line?
I may have one line I need to display as 1 color, and a 2nd that I need to display as another. Using color highlight changed the markers for both lines to the same color. Is there a way to specify which line I want to change the color of in "Color Highlight"?
Thanks.

Problems getting Excelsius 2008 line chart to integrate into Crystal 2008

I am playing around with integrating excelsius 2008 into Crystal 2008 and I can't and am getting rather frustrated. I have a simple output of the following:
Month     % 1st delivery - Actl
1                   65.00
2                   89.80
3                   85.00
4                   87.50
5
6                   91.90
7                   94.80
8
I set up a line chart for 1 series, the series being the month and charting the delivery %. Very simple.
The way I have the xcelsius data manager set up is that my Row Headers go from A2:A13 and the data goes from B2:B13 and my chart is set up to ignore blank cells. I then saved that as an SWF file and pulled that into Crystal. I mapped the Month column into the row label and the % 1st delivery - Actl into the data value. What I get is a chart with just a value of 1 across the bottom and values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 going up the left. Basically, nothing.
Now, if I go back into the Flash Data Binding Expert on the Crystal report, click on my data column, click on the options button and change the summary from sum to count, it seems to work. I get a chart that has 1 - 8 across the bottom and a value of 1 on the chart for months 1 - 4, 6 and 7. Now, if I go into my database and add another row for month 6, the chart now shows 2 for month 6.
So basically, I can't get anything charted on this xcelsius chart exept for a count of my data values. Any ideas? I'm stumped and frustrated and would great appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
This is a known issue for CR 2008 and was fixed for CR 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008. It was not fixed for SQL Server 2005 using the SQL 2008 native driver as we do not support the MS SQL 2005 native client.
I never tested it against MS SQL 2005 because we did not support the native driver for 2005. It may work using the 2008 native client but you'll have to download Fix Pack 2.7 for CR 2008, requires Service Pack 2 first.
The cause is CR does not recognize the new SQL server native dll so it reverts to a default SQL syntax for that function.
If it does not work, not officially supported, we won't be able to fix it. Options are to upgrade MS SQL server or use ODBC or OLE DB to connect using the MDAC client for MS SQL server 2005.
Thank you
Don

Is it possible to hide part of the line in webI line chart

I had webI line chart which is showing for 2 months data, and is it possible to hide the line for only first 10 days in the line chart and continue the line after 11 th day till the end?

@rajesh: I didn't understand why should we use Relativedate() function?can you please explain little bit more. Becuase the report has customer exit written such a way that if I run the report today it will show up previous 60 days
For example:
today is 04/06/2011
so in the report date column has values and shows up like
02/06/2011
02/07/2011
02/08/2011
04/05/2011.
So now I should hide/avoid/shouldn't show First 10 days. In example above 02/06/2011, 02/07/2011,02/08/2011.....like wise 10 days so till 02/16/2011 shouldn't be shown in the report. The beginning of the report should start from 02/17/2011 till 04/05/2011..

Grouped Line Chart in Crystal 10

I need some help with a line chart that has 4 lines on it (no problem there) but such that it shows a marker for every record AND is grouped left to right (on the X-Axis) into one of 5 categories. Basically each of the 5 X-Axis groupings can have a different number of points that will display in that section for each line. I've tried to use the "On change of..." setting using the category field and that does exactly what I want EXCEPT the markers/lines only work against summarized data instead plotting each marker and line within the grouping.
If that doesn't make sense, here's what I want the chart to do:
There are 5 levels of a job code that are the grouping I want. In each of those five levels, I want to show 3 lines and 4th line (as markers only) the represent the employees in each level...the lines are their level minimum, midpoint, and maximum and the markers are the actual salaries for each employee. Each of the 5 levels will have a different number of employees.
I've also tried (successfully) to do this with 5 sub-reports side by side so that each sub-report represents one of the groups and has the variable number of employee points/lines in each grouping however this means that I have to use a fixed Y-axis scale for all 5 sub-reports. To accommodate many different groups of jobs, this causes the line ranges to be really compressed so that there is little differentiation between the lines at the low end (minimum to maximum) and larger at the top end.
Basically I would like to find a way to do this with a single chart such that it will auto-scale the Y-axis to best display the data for that chart. Any tricks for this would be appreciated and let me know if you need any clarifications on this...it is a mouthful.

The thing is the 5 job codes need to go across the page, side by side so that the users can see the progression from one job level to the next. I'm already grouping on the general or short job code which might be for an Accountant let's say. The person wants to see the 5 levels of Accountant (Entry Level, Account I, Accountant II, Accountant III, and Senior Accountant) jobs side by side with each group having 3 lines (Minimum, Midpoint, and Maximum) and a 4th line (actually showing "markers only" like a scatter chart) for each employee's salary in that job.
The whole page is like a job family (which is referred to as a "Short Job Code") with the each job level within that as groupings. This report actually has over 100 job families (i.e. pages) of up to 5 groupings per page.
As I mentioned, I can get this to work by putting the chart in a sub-report and using that sub-report 5 times across the page. The issue is I can't use automatic Y-axis scaling for them because each one of the 5 could decide to do its own scaling which would defeat the purpose of having them side by side.
I come really close to getting this all on one chart if I add the job level code (i.e. identifies each of the 5 levels on a page) to the top section of the Data tab in the Chart Expert as "On change of.." but then it does not show the markers for each employee's salary, but rather a summary.
My guess is I cannot do this with a single chart but will have to stick with the 5 sub-chart approach, but that is going to be rough since one job page may be in US $ and another job page may be in Yen.
THanks for the help on this.

Creating a Line Chart using a user enter target amount.

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a chart that will use Total Sales and Annual Target(Goal).
I get the Total sales to work just fine. It's just getting the Annual Target(Goal), which is a parameter, to come into the chart. Right now they are doing this in Excel and the Target line goes from 0 to 8,000,000.
So how do i get that to work in my Crystal Report?
So when the report is working correctly i should have a Line Chart with two Lines. Line 1 "The Target", Line 2 "Total Sales".
Thanks

Hi
Create a formula field and store the parameter there.
Now put this formula field in "On change of" in the Chart expert.
e.g. I have a parmeter on country and I have a chart which shows the last year sales year wise for the countries.
I create a formula field and put the below formula:
stringvar x = {?countryparameter};
Now i put this formula field in On change of so when i run the report i select the required country.
Hope this helps!!

How to thicken the line in Line Chart?

Post Author: leongcy23
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I created a line chart and everything is smooth. But there is one thing that I'm not satisfied, which is I can't thicken the line of the chart. I try to look for Help, but it didn't show anything. From what I explore and try, I only can enlarge the marker, but not the line.
And another issue is, can I choose the color for the line? Because the report will auto generate the line with color that is not clear which is yellow which border me so much. I wonder is that I can choose the color of the line.
I really appreciate for someone that offer help. Thanks

What version of Crystal are you using? I can click on the line to highlight and then right click to get the option to format line. You can then choose color and line thickness. I'm using Crystal XI. It may take a few trys to highlight the line.. you have to hit it just right but I can't imagine this wasn't available in earlier versions.

How can I hide a segment of line in Line Chart.

Hi, All.
I have a problem in Crystal Report. I have a database field like this:
ID Creation Budget Actual
1 2007-1 30 45
2 2007-2 30 38
3 2007-3 30 42
4 2007-4 30 Null
5 2007-5 30 Null
12 2007-12 30 Null
This database storage the info about budget and actual
when the first month of each year, we input all the budget of the full year.
and we input actual data every month.
We hope our line chart can show a line about sum(budget) of the full year:
and another segment of line indicate the actual of the summary to current month. (eg. the data of 2007, this line will hide after 2007-4, but the budget will show all 2007 sum data)
| /budget(sum2007-12=360)
| /
| /
| /
|/-/act(sum2007-3=125)
What should I do? Please Help!!
Thanks.

Hi, Don.
Thank you
It seems that you are a SAP employee, You said "If you need quick help I suggest you purchase a case on line to get a dedicated Crystal Report Designer Engineer to help you ",
I wanna told you that It's not work. maybe Crystal Report is a good product, but it has the worst services in China. We've brought CR product, We've brought CR services. But we never get any services from their company.
Every time we post the information to their engineer, they never give us feedback. They donno how to do it either. They just sell product, but never know how to keep the customer's heart.
After SAP brought BO, I ever thought that SAP,the BEST management company in the world, would give the new life to BO. the services would be better. BUT, I was wrong..IT'S THE SAME..
I'm not aiming at one man or one company, But I really hope the services would be better. It HELPS.
Thank you anyway.
btw. I'm sorry for post in a wrong fourm.
Seraph.

Line Chart in Infoview Dates out of order

Hi,
I have a report that works fine on the desktop but when it is run from within Infoview, the date range in the X axis of the line chart are no longer in order.
Any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
What are the versions (along with any fix packs if any) of the following:
1) Crystal Reports designer
2) BusinessObjects Enterprise
Also, could you try changing the Viewer Type for Crystal Reports? If it is set to Web (No downloading), try changing that to ActiveX.

Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.
