Show pie chart data block by block

Hello experts,
imagine you have a list of suppliers and their invoice volume. Now you want to display the suppliers in a pie chart, but as this list can be quite long the pie chart gets complex.
Now it's the question whether it's possible to display only N values at one time (e.g. display the first 10 values, the second 10 values and so on).
I know that you can use the Top N-property in a query, define N as a variable and display the (e.g.) Top 10, Top 20 and so on values. But that's not what we need.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance and greetings,
Daniel

I think that should have been fixed in Design Studio 1.2 SP01, if its happening in a newer release, then it is unfortunately a regression:
1953578 - Chart values defaulting to 1 or 0
The expected behaviour is to display the percentage share in the chart, and the absolute value in the tooltip.
Best regards,
Victor

Crystal Reports 2008 Pie Chart Data Labels

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot get the option to put pie chart data labels in the center of each slice. There's an option to place them there, but everytime I select it, the graph reverts to putting the data labels on the outside with leader lines. I was able to do it once, for one pie chart, but have not been able to get it to work for any others. I've even tried creating a pie with only two slices in case there's a slice size limit below which the data is placed outside. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it worked once and now won't work again.
Thanks,
-Jim

Hi Jim,
The issue could be faced because of the 'Auto-arrange' layout option enabled from Chart Expert within the report.
This option allows Crystal Reports to reset the chart layout to its original size and position
To uncheck the 'Auto-arrange option':
- First Go to Chart Expert-
- Click on the Options Tab
- Uncheck Auto - Arrange
- Click OK
I hope this helps,
Selenia

Setting Pie Chart Data Label Values Location Reverts to Default

After hitting OK the values return to the Side of Frame:

hi Richard,
that's pretty annoying...i too am dealing with the charting engine changing things. here's how to get around this...at least it worked in my cr 2013 version...
get out of Chart Options, right click on the Chart Expert and then go to the Options tab. now deselect any of the Data Points options and deselect Auto-Arrange.
now go back to Chart Options and redo the Data Labels selections you did in your screen shot.

How to Avoid overlapping data label values in Pie Chart

Hi HariKan,
Per my understanding that the Category group of the pie chart which will retuen many values so that the label will overlapping and you want to know is any method to deal with this kind of problem, right?
In Reporting Services, when enabling data label in par charts, the position for data label only have two options: inside and outside.
In your scenario, I recommend you to increase the size of the pie chart if you insist to choose the lable inside the pie chart as below:
If you choose to "Enable 3D" in the chart area properties and choose to display the label outside, the label's layout will be more clear:

ActiveX pie chart range limit

I have a problem with creating a pie chart using ActiveX that seems to be related to the range. When I give it a source of 8 cells (source 1) the pie chart works fine (Right Pie). If I give it 9 cells (source 2) the pie chart data has 9 series instead of the 1 it should have (Wrong Pie). If I go into Excel I can correct it manually. I have been using this sub VI for a while with no problems but always with fewer than 8 cells.
I am using Excel 2007 version 12.

Attached is part of the sub-vi where I am having the problem. I tell Excel which cells to use for the pie chart. If I use "Source 1" (8 cells) the pie chart is created successfully. If I use "Source 2" (14 cells) the pie chart only uses the first cell. I can go to the Excel file and select all 14 cells manually and the pie chart displays correctly. I also tried 9 cells with no luck, it seems that 8 cells are the limit. I am trying to find what is causing the limitation. I have also attached the sub-vi.

Problem with Pie Chart Size

I am using the CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE to show pie charts in a dashboard format. One of my charts has just started to randomly decide to display the pie slices incorrectly.
this is the XML for the data
<Chartdata>

    <Category>Fax</Category>
    <Category>Phone call</Category>
    <Category>Phone Support</Category>
    <Category>Emergency service</Category>

<Series label="Series" customizing="Series">
    <Point label="$26,815.03">
      <Value type="y">26,815.03</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point label="$17,045.12">
      <Value type="y">17,045.12</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point>
      <Value type="y">0.00</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point>
      <Value type="y">0.00</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point label="$33,914.70">
      <Value type="y">33,914.70</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point label="$23,731.63">
      <Value type="y">23,731.63</Value>
    </Point>
    <Point label="$973.08">
      <Value type="y">973.08</Value>
    </Point>
</Series>
</Chartdata>
The problem is, the last point on the pie chart is showing like it is about 85% of the pie. I admit, this is my first attempt at this, but why would it be OK, then suddenly NOT OK. Any ideas on what i may have coded incorrectly? what does the type indicator in the Value tag represent? i have looked at the documentation available for the chart engine, and it is pretty weak on specifics.
by the way, the label on the very large part of the pie is $973.08, which is considerably less than the values in the other "slices". The data is correct, as far as having the correct values. it is just suddenly displaying it incorrectly, putting the wrong size slice with the categories.
Edited by: David Knittle on Nov 22, 2010 1:32 PM

could it be because the chart is interpreting the values as text values instead of numbers? and 9 would then be much larger than ther other values? I'd try values without comma....tell it it's a numeric value like 12345.67.

Xcelsius Present - Pie Chart Does Not Display

I am evaluating a trial copy of Xcelsius Present and I am having trouble with creating a Pie Chart. I have imported my spreadsheet and have made my data selection, but the pie chart does not display. I have used Crystal Reports in the past and have never run across the problem. I have tried to create and import a new spreadsheet with the data needed for the pie chart, but I have the same problem with the chart not loading. This problem does not occur with other charts that I am creating.
Can anyone make a recommendation on what to do?
Thanks.
Anita

I'm having the same problem with the Xcelsius Present 2008 evaluation copy (5.3.0.0).
No matter how pie chart data is formatted, there is nothing displaying.
I'd like to know whether this is a known bug or whether this is only in the eval copy. This would prevent me from buying the product.

Converting a pie chart to an object that is merged?

I have created a simple pie chart as shown below (a) and in the end want it to look like a pie chart with a hollow hole in it (b).
However, the pathfinder's minus front tool only works with 2 objects.
The pie chart data consists of two pieces (dark teal and green). How do I merge /unite these two objects? I get an error mainly because they are not overlapping.
(a)(b)

Rather than physically bashing a hole through your pie chart, do it with a clipping mask like Mylenium suggests.
The mask should be a compound path; a large circle or rectangle that completely covers the pie and a second smaller circle for the ‘hole’.
Make a compound path of these two and apply it as a clipping mask to the pie.
This way the pie chart remains editable.

Active sessions showing no data in pie-chart

Can anyone tell me how to configure EM so that instance ORCL and the active sessions start showing data again?

Showing Data in A Pie chart

As part of a school wide intiative i must show pre and post test data in my classroom. I must be able to show how many studetns were proficient on the pre test and well as on the post test. I have my data all ready to go with each kids test score. How do i create a pie chart that show the percentage of students with a 85% or high?

k,
Select the Data in your Table.
Insert a Pie Chart.
Set the label display format option for "%" or "Number", as you wish.
That should do it.
Generally the best place to start with charting is to sketch one, as you imagine what you want it to look like, and most importantly, write in some labels describing the chart. That helps you to think about how to construct the chart. Unless you know what it should look like, it's difficult to know what data to chart and what options to use.

No data in Active sessions pie-chart and availability is 0%

Hi All,
Does anyone know why my Enterprise Manager cosole in Oracle 10g installed on windows xp professional is not showing any data? Availabilty is always 0% for the instance ORCL and the active sessions pie-chart is always showing 0.01 since May 17,2005.

Hi,
Kindly activate the data request. Post that, Under "request available for reporting" a symbol will appear which means that the data has been moved to Active table and is available for reporting at further levels.
And you can then check for contents in the active table of the DSo, you should get the records.
Change log: Contains the change history for the delta update from the DataStore object into other data targets, such as DataStore objects or InfoCubes. It makes sense in case of delta uploads.
