12.2.3 Charting on Cross-Tab summaries (Cross-Tab layout)
Crystal Reports allows you to include a chart based on summary values in your Cross-Tab report. For
example, with a Cross-Tab that shows the amount of a certain product sold in each region of the United
States, you may want to include a chart showing the percentage of total sales provided by each region
for that product.
To create a Cross-Tab chart, you must first have a Cross-Tab in your report. For more information, see
Cross-Tab Objects.
