Step by step guide to creating a chart in Report Footer based on entire data :


I will demonstrate the use of charts in Crystal Reports by using a simple example. The screenshot below displays a report where marks obtained by students in various subjects are displayed. A group has been created based on student ID. The student name is displayed in the group header.

We can use the “Text” tab to customize the Title, subtitle , axis description etc.

When we look at the preview, the report appears as below:
