Passing variable from subreport to chart

[crystaldev1]

Hello. I need help on how I can use the variable that was passed from a subreport into a main report and use it in a chart. In the chart, the formula I used which includes a variable does not show up as an option to insert in a chart. When I created another formula which includes the value I wanted to pass, the chart allowed me to use the variable but gave me a print time error. I would appreciate your feedbacks. Thanks.

Are you using Shared Variables?

It also helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options.

Currently, I'm using crystal reports 9. I hope this helps. Thanks.

So do you return a Shared Variable?

Yes I return a shared variable passed from a subreport to a main report. Thanks.

Hi

Charting data where print-time formulas are required is somewhat advanced.

I suggest you have a look at the fo0llowing document describing how to chart on print-time formulas:
