I am charting on a forumla called @1Day @2Day @3Day and @4Day+

This naturally shows up in the legend of my graph as @1Day, etc.

This will not make sense to the user and the @ prefixed on the name of the formula will also be confusing. How do I change to a custom formula name that would display only in the chart so that it would make sense to the user?
 
Is there a particular reason for using those names? Otherwise you could right-click on the formula in the Field Explorer and change the name to something more business-friendly

I have them named accordingly with spaces now i.e. 1 Day, 2 Day, 3 Day, 4 Day + which the business community understands, however, Crystal still inserts the @1 Day instead. I just need to strip out the "@" so that users aren't confused by that. Even though the name only appears as 1 Day in the field explorer, it appears as @1 Day when inserted into the report.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
 
Sorry, I don't know how that can be done or if it can be done. Can anyone else help?
