     Posted: 27 Aug 2014 at 1:03am
Hi All,
 
I have a Q regarding the Bar Chart.
 
I want to display 12 months data regardless of the end date of project (last 6 months and next 5 months). For example, if the end date is Oct 2014, it will still show data till Jan 2015.
 
At the moment, the bar chart is only showing month with data in it, which is until Oct 2014.
 
is there anyway I can get the chart to display 12 months?
 
Thanks a lot, everyone!

If you are using SQL, you could create a table with dates and link to data table dates;
or you could create this as a temp table in Crystal using a SQL command;
 
 
or Three D Graphic third party software will also do it (this does cost money though).
 
I have used the software before for other functions, and remember seeing this as an option.

Hi z9962, thanks for answering my Q. I don't have the right to create temp table.. so using SQL command is out of the question. The company won't pay a third party software to do it either. Is there any other way?

Thanks!

using the Crystal SQL Command I dont think you need the rights, try something like this in Crystal...

IF

OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#TempDate') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #TempDate

CREATE

TABLE #TempDate (tDate DateTime)

DECLARE

@i INT

SET

@i = 1

WHILE

@i <= 12

BEGIN

INSERT INTO #TempDate (tDate) Values (DATEADD(month,@i,getdate()))

SET @i = @i + 1

END

SELECT

tDate FROM #TempDate
