### Charting on Cross-Tab summaries (Cross-Tab layout)

Seagate 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.

###### To chart on a Cross-Tab summary

1. On the `Insert` menu, click `Chart`.

   The Chart Expert dialog box appears.

2. On the `Type` tab, in the `Chart type` list, click the chart type that best illustrates your data. See Chart types.
3. Click the `Data` tab.

4. In the `Layout` area, click `Cross-Tab`.
5. In the `Placement` area, click `Header` or `Footer` to specify where to place your chart.
6. How often your chart appears on the report depends on where the Cross-Tab summary field has been placed.
7. In the `Data` area, in the `On change of` list, click the group field you want to base your chart on.
8. If necessary, in the `Subdivided by` list, click a secondary row or column you want to base your chart on.
9. In the `Show` list, click the summary field you want to display on your chart.
10. On the `Axes` and `Options` tab, add data values, a legend, or other elements to your chart.
11. Click the `Text` tab.
12. Accept the default title information or add new titles to your chart.
13. Click `OK`.

    Your chart is placed in the Header or Footer section of the report, depending on your selection in Step 5.

    Note: When your chart is inserted, it may cover a portion of the report. Move and resize the chart so that it fits properly within the report.
