Pareto Charts

Hello,
Does anyone know how to do Pareto Charts in Crystal Reports? Is it possible?
Also - when I use the chart expert, in the Data tab the following are grayed out: Group, Cross Tab, Olap; any ideas why?
Thanks!I don't think you can do Pareto with standard version of Charting tool (Amigo).
We don't use the standard tool anywhere, due to its limitations.
An upgrade to CRChart, which does 2 Pareto formats, can be obtained from Dan Weingart at:

We nogeotiated and got about 50% off the standard retail price for this replacement for sscdsdk80.dll (Crystal's charting engine), and so far it has done everything we asked for.

As for groups etc, I'm not sure, but I think CrossTab needs to have a crosstab present in the report before it can summarise the crosstab data via a report.

appended a snapshot from ThreeD's doc's for you.|||Thanks! Big help!!|||Can I pick your brain again? When I go to use the Pareto Charts, do I need to set my data in a cross tab report?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.|||I don't think you need a cross tab, but like verything with Crystal, its hard to remember the premutations.
Last time I used a Paerto was over a year ago.
You should just be able to make a data series for each one, and represent one as you aggregated trend line and one as you raw data.

Need more time to investigate than I can give, unfortunately. deadlines, deadlines.

Parameters collection

I have a function defined in Report->Report Properties-> Code Tab which
I want to access the parameters collection to look for a Debug flag.

I get the following error:
c:\Reports\ReportMockup.rdl There is an error on line 4 of custom code:
[BC30469] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object
reference.

How do I access the Parameters collection within my custom code?

Ideas anyone?|||Try...
report.Parameters!parameter_name.Value
Thanks Tomson McCabe :)

Report.Parameters!parameter1.Value
