pie-chart drill-down

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a pie chart on my report. I want it so that the user can double click on a segment of the pie and drill-down to view some detailed logs. The logs just being a list of details from the records like "name" "age" etc.

I have read some stuff on subreports and linking, but im not quite sure wether this is the way to do this or if there is an easierway without all that subreport linking malarchy.

Is there an easier way? and if so, could you please provide me with a step-by-step as im fairly new to this whole crystal reports thingamajig. Thanks

Hi James

You can get a drill down on your pie chart once you apply groups in your report and create chart based on those groups.

For example: I create a report to display the last year sales for all the cities in a country. I want a drill down onmy pie chart for the cities. I do the below:

1. I create two groups on Contry and City.

2. Now I create a pie chart. In Data tab of Chart expert select the group for City in On change of, and show value Last year sales.

3.Place the chart on group header of Country group.

4. Refresh the report, now I would get the drill down for the cities for every country in the Pie chart.

For more information please refer to Crystal Reports Help.

Hope this helps!!!
