Forcing a color for category name in pie chart slice

[nstouffer]

Does anyone know if I can force a particular doughnut slice color to always be a certain color?

I can change the color but CR is only storing my colors based on listing of categories in my group..i.e.

First = Red
Second = Blue
Third = Yellow

I would like it to be based on name...i.e.

Medical = Red
Decorative = Blue
Textile = Yellow

regardless whether it comes first, second or even shows up at all, that name will always be that color on the pie chart...

THANKS!

It can't be done in the current versions of Crystal.
Let's hope that it will be included in Crystal Version 9.
Until then, try using crystal to create a reduced table and
export to excel (with all the calculations and summaries you need). Then use excel or powerpoint to do your charts. Howard Hammerman,
