Dear Xpert,
 
Any idea whether it is possible to create a report with the combination of Stacked and Side-by-side bar chart?
 
Thank you + have a nice day...

Do you mean have a single report that is both stacked and side-by-side, in order to get an extra dimension of granularity?

No.  It doesn't exist.  And I curse the heavens for that on a regular basis.

You know it is possible to overlay graphs on top of one another. I have used this when I want a bar chart with a line chart on top. You create two reports in defferent sections thenunderlay the top section over the bottom. If you  need any further info let me know.

OK, Slaidebug, I'd like more information.

I understand how you would do that conceptually.  But, it doesn't seem to me like it would work reliably.  I mean, Crystal does so much auto-formatting of the charts, and resizing everything, that I don't see how you could ever get them to seamlessly overlap.  Once, maybe, but not on a regular basis.

Share your technique?

Is it possible to overlap two lin graphs in crystal reports? I have the same  count for two charts with two slightly different date for the x-axis. and want both to be overlapping. Is this possible?
