Show Blank Chart, if it does not have data

[mycrystalbaby]

One of the reports having 12 sub reports within it and each has a chart. When ever sub report does not have the data, it shows the blank space.
I would like to show the blank chart (body for the chart), if it does not have any data.
I checked the option Suppress, it was un- checked for each chart.
Is there anything, I could do here to show blank chart.

I don't know of a way to get a chart when there's no data. You can have a display message, in a section that is suppressed unless there is no data.

Right-click on the field and choose Format Field. Choose the [Common] tab, and then the formula icon (x+2 and a pencil) for suppression. Enter a formula; e.g.

not isnull({your.field})

It 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.
