Top N with Other Charts [message #86378]

I've a data set that includes the total sales by state e.g.

California $500
Texas $300
...
Wyoming $42

I don't want to draw a bar chart with 50 bars on it though as that's
unreadable. Instead I want to draw bars for the N largest sales (say, 5) and
then lump everything else into an "other" column.

Is there a way to do this (conveniently or otherwise) with BIRT?

Hi Patrick

You can do this with a Pie Chart in BIRT 2.0, or more generally any chart
without axes. Otherwise the best solution is to modify your dataset query to
group everything else in an "other" computed column.

Thanks,

David
