I have a report with an across column... when i have the default initial presentation it displays the values i want..but when i change it to bar chart as my initial presentation it group the across well but the titles are not the one of the across column..how can i resolve it?

Thanks in advance

Is this an Active Report (AHTML)? Can you post your code?

Yes..it is an active report..
here is the code..
TABLE FILE F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION
SUM
'AVE.F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.RATING' AS ''
BY 'J0.D_TIME.TIME_QUARTERNAME'
BY 'F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.SERVICECENTER_ID' NOPRINT
BY 'F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.F_QLTY_PATSATISFACTION.SPECIALTY_ID' NOPRINT

I don't know the answer. I checked the doc and didn't see a restriction. So I did some experimenting.

TABLE FILE CENTURYSALES
SUM
     COMPUTE REVENUE/D20.2M = COSTOFGOODSSOLD - PROFIT; AS 'Revenue'

If I change the date to 200609, I get a chart. As is, I get an error saying 'Too many bars'. Maybe with your multiple BYs and the ACROSS, you wind up with too many combinations. And maybe you aren't seeing the error.

Can you try reducing your query to the point where you can get a chart?

Also, can you add your subrelease to your signature. There have been lots of changes in 7.6 from ..0 to ..10 and it is helpful to know where you are in the range.

Hi..I don't have the centurysales table..
and I'm still trying to get this graph.. I tried to do it like an advance graph..and it worked...but when I tried to reference it from an HTML File I can't have the advantages of building the dropdown from an active report...what can I do???

i leave you the code of the advance graphic in case is needed.. aah and also my wf version is 7.6.10
