Data Label Formatting In Charts

[wavecruzin]

I am using Crystal Reports 9. I have three values that I am charting, A, B, and C. Values A and B are risers (bars) and value C is a line. I am using dual axes. For some reason the data labels for value C (the line) appear about an inch away from the marker and it doesn't look like there is a setting to move the label directly above the marker.

Also I am having difficulty using different formatting for the data labels. Even when I set the formatting for a specific series, Crystal changes the other series to be the same formatting. For example, values A and B (the bars) I want to be in a currency format, and value C (the line) I want to be in a percent format. When I change the series for value C to be a percent, values A and B also change to a percent format.

Any ideas?

I want to have three series (two with risers and one with a line/marker).

For some reason when the third series is a riser, the data label is positioned correctly in the same spot as the riser. But when I change the third series to a line, the data label is positioned to the right of the marker. It's actually the marker that isn't positioned correctly (the marker appears to the left of the data label). I don't see any way of changing this.

It looks like you have to manually drag the series values over to the marker. Otherwise they appear about a half inch to three quarters of an inch to the right of the marker. It's actually the marker that is positioned over.
