Charting on Cross-Tab summaries (Cross-Tab layout)
Crystal Reports allows you to include a chart based on summary values in
your Cross-Tab report. For example, with a Cross-Tab that shows the amount
of a certain product sold in each region of the United States, you may want
to include a chart showing the percentage of total sales provided by each
region for that product.
To create a Cross-Tab chart, you must first have a Cross-Tab in your report.
For more information, see
Cross-Tab Objects .
To chart on a Cross-Tab summary
