Adding charts
You can use the Chart Builder to add two pie charts to your report: the first pie chart shows the total dollar amount of
the art sold versus the total dollar amount unsold art for each artist; the second pie chart shows the sum of artwork
sold versus unsold for all of the artists.
The two pie charts are the same except for the scope. To apply a pie chart to a group (the ratio of sold to unsold art for
each artist), add the pie chart to the group footer band. To apply the pie chart to the report (the ratio of sold to unsold
art for all artists), add the pie chart to the report footer band.
In
"Adding a calculated
field" on page 1039, you added a calculated field for the total dollar amount of artwork sold.
Before you can create the pie chart for this example, create a second calculated field for the total dollar amount of
unsold art.
