I have a data table of Prices and dimensions Grouped By locations.Each Location has a different number of objects to show. I am trying to create a chart to compare the different groups. This chart is currently in Excel. We are trying to convert all reports to Crystal Reports. (XI R2).
I have tried two different charts, Line and XY scatter. The Scatter Shows the data as it is But it will not group by location. When I try the Line chart It keeps trying to Summarize. The Data is from a SQL Server Stored Procedure

Thank for any assistance

Not quite sure what you're doing, but if you don't want to summarize, but are forced to, try using a maximum and see if that gives you the correct results.

Thank for the suggestion. Using The Max did not work. What Im trying to do with this chart is show a Line with Markers at Data point for each Location for a comparison of Price to Dimension for each locations product. Each Location has as range of products that we are comparing. In Excel we created a series for each location and used as xy scatter chart.I have used Group by in the stored Procedure and in crystal. I have been able to create chart close to this using the XY scatter Chart but I can not group Products with the location I have to use for each record and Manually set the Color for each location. But the items do not connect a line to each of its products. I hope this clears up what I am trying to do.
