Charts in a crosstab column [message #940173]

Hello!

I am new to BIRT and started "flying" two days ago. Smile

I get from a colleague reports generated with a Microsoft reporting tool that I have to recreate in BIRT to show the power of this open-source tool in a demo. The last report I received has two charts in the rows, as you can see in the attachment. Also, I attach what I could do with BIRT.

My question: How can I add a chart as a column to the report? In other words, how can I move the pie charts and area charts to new columns in the report of "Firma X" above?

I tried to add it to the data cube, but that seems to be the wrong way.

Thank you for your help!

You can drag a chart to a crosstab measure cell, but it has to use data from the crosstab cube. That said using script you can always replace its data. You can also right click on meaasure icon and set any measure to shows a chart as well. I am attaching example of doing this. You can also show totals as charts as well.
