Editing a Legend in a Crystal Chart

[SunTrustER]

I am using Crystal version 7.0.100.15 and it is going against a Microsoft SQL 7 database. I have created a chart. I want to edit the legend in the chart. Currently it is showing the calculated fields that I created. For example, it is showing "@Sum of Retail". I want to edit the legend to show just "Retail" I have gone into Chart Expert and Chart Editor to fix the legend. I have done a right click on Legend but it does not give me the option to edit the text.

Sounds like you are using a detail chart? You might be able to rename the formula used for the 'show' field to get rid of the "Sum of", but you will still get the "@" no matter what.

If you can use a Group chart (grouping your records and doing one bar/slice per group) you can name the groups and get the chart legend to reflect this.

However if you are using multiple totals at the same level, you will have to use the detail or advanced chart. Here you have no control over the legend. Ken Hamady
