Topic: Creating Charts from Calculated Fields Posted: 16 Apr 2013 at 1:34pm
Hi, I'm using Crystal Reports 2010.
I got some shared variables from my subreport.
I then use these variables for some calculations with fields in my main report.
Is there really no way to create a simple bar chart from these calculated fields in my main report?
Can I really only create charts from database fields?
Calculated fields won't even show up in the selection list of the report.
Surely there must be a way around? Is this limitation still around in later versions?
Would appreciate any advise.

yeah, I don't think so.
here's my reasoning. CR wants to generate the chart during the initial reads of the database...not while print records, which is when the variables in the report are populated. So in effect, there is no data for CR to use at the time that it is generating the chart.
It's just a guess, but if it's close to the truth, then I don't see CR changing it, they already are making 2 or 3 passes through the data as it is prior to display.
