Parameter as Title in chart will not export

[adriae]

Hi,

I'm using Crystal Reports 2011 and have a question about using a parameter as a subtitle in a chart. I have two parameters in a report:

Date Range - where the user can select start and end dates for a data set, such as January 1 - 31

Data Month - where the user can type text to be displayed on a chart, such as January 2012, indicating what "datamonth" the chart is displaying.

Maybe I have this set up wrong, but I wanted to use the "Data Month" parameter as a subtitle in the report chart. I can drag and drop the parameter onto the chart, and it runs and displays correctly in the preview screen, but when I export the report, the chart does not display this data month parameter from the report preview. In an excel export, the data month parameter is displayed below the actual chart.

Any suggestions?? Maybe I should have the chart automatically determining the data month and displaying it somehow?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Try placing the title (in a formula) and subtitle in separate sections above the chart.

Thank you for your quick response.

I need to be able to export the chart to either Excel or Word, and if the parameter "title" is not embedded in the chart, it will not be useful for the user.

Thanks though!!
