Hello.

I have a chart on my report.
The legend text says: Sum of StoredProcedureName.FieldName

Is there a way to change this value in a more readable text

    Hi there,

    I have been having the same problem, and have been trying everything for a solution. It seems as though there is no way around this other than buying the full version of Crystal Reports.

    Hey,  I've been having the same problem .... I can't change the legend names from Summonthlystatus to a more readable text.  How can I do this if I have the full version of crystal   Thanks

    Thanks for responding.

    I will try to adapt the output of my stored procedures. Buying the full version of Crystal Reports is no option for me :-)

    Cool man!

    There is another way, without using a legend. What I did was you take a look at the legend it produces for you. And you will notice the colors are alwas the same. What I mean by this is - say  the color for the field name Salary  on your graph is blue, everytime you run your app, it's always blue.

    So... I made  box objects and filled them with the relavant colors and simply put a text box next to the color, the text box having the description of course.  And there you have it - quite simple. Its kind of a "homemade legend box". :)

    A good option, indeed! I wil keep it in mind and use it when possible. Only the most of my graphs has a different number of groups every time.

    Thanks,
