Pivot Chart in Report

[JayRab]

Ok trying to attach a Pivot Chart (generated from a query) to the end of a report that is sent as PDF each morning.




I tried using the stupid Chart Wizard in the report design view, but it is always messed up and I cant get the formatting of the chart( series colors, data labels formats, all that stuff) to stick and look how I want. Then when in design view it just shows that generic stuff so I dont know exactly what I'm changing.

It is a simple query it only has a catergory and a percentage. I just want these represented in a chart form. Below is data and How I want the graph to look. The data will change daily since the query is ran everyday at 7:00 am and produces this graph as well as an existing report.

Category	Availabily Precentage
1 -TRUCK	70.41%
2 - SCALER	70.74%
3 - DRILL	97.15%
4 - LHD	79.11%
5 - BOLTER	80:00%

I want that graph to be on page 2 of this report.

This report is used each morning to discuss the current state of equipment and discuss yesterdays numbers.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Looks like a simple graph. Don't understand why it won't save your settings.

Chart can be saved so that your stuff shows in Design view. Open the report in Layout and Save then close then open in Design view.

I analyze graph issues best when I can work with object and data. If you want to provide db, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

Reason It was messing up I guess was because I had it in the Page footer. I have switched it to the Report Footer and it seems to be retaining the correct formatting. I will have to check this again on monday. And thanks for the tip about the layout view then design view it helped immensely.
