CR 9.0
I noticed in the chart expert, all fields on the report was not available in the "Available fields' dialog box. Can anyone tell me why or why not. TIA.

Summaries or formulas containing summaries or containing variables using "whileprintingrecords" will not be available.

Dear Harding1031,

Typically you can not chart on print time formuals or on memo fields in cr 9 and earlier...

Workaround for memo field issue in 9:

Workaround for print-time formulas (cr 9 and cr10)

To gain an understanding of Crystal Report processing go to help, click on Index, and do a search for pass, one of the items below will be multi-pass reporting, select that item and study the chart displayed.

Regards,
