Crystal Reports 2013 Charting on Print time values

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am currently working on Crystal Reports 2013 version and I have "WhilePrintingRecords Shared Count Variables" in my main report which are used at two places.

1st Place: Group Header for detailed reporting purpose individual to the Order ID

2nd Place : Report Footer for summary purpose I need to build Pie chart at Report footer section to simply replace the summary lines over to visualization in this case Pie chart

So far, I have created another set of Global variables to call these shared variables within them and I am able to see these Global variable formulas within the chart expert hence I dragged it to the 'For all the records' section under 'show values' but when I refresh the report I get the below error "A Print time formula that modifies variables is used in a chart or map"

Does anyone have the pdf "Charting on Print TIme Formulas"? If so please share it as I am unable to find the same for past 3 days on this community.

I need to refer to that document before I implement the below blog as this is close to my current requirment

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

This was achieved by passing the Formula fields from Main Report into the Sub-report using "Change Subreport links" which pushed them into Sub-report as Parameters .. Then I just referenced these parameters individually in seperate formula fields in the Sub-report.. When I created the chart within the Sub-report there is "On change of" which is crucial field on which your formula relies on ... Viola my chart is up and running now

Thanks to the blog I have mentioned in this post !
