1215558 - How to create a chart based on a print-time or WhilePrintingRecords() formula in Crystal Reports

How do I create a chart based on a print-time or WhilePrintingRecords() formula in Crystal Reports 9 and later?

In Crystal Reports 9 and later, a chart cannot be created from a print-time or WhilePrintingRecords() formula. However, there is a procedure that passes the print-time formulas from the main report to a subreport. It then creates the chart in the subreport.

The procedure consists of

• formatting the report
• creating running total formulas for the On change of and Show value(s) values
• creating and linking a subreport
• inserting a chart in the subreport.

This procedure is fully explained in the technical paper - Charting on Print Time Formulas.
