Mapping on Cross-Tab summaries (Cross-Tab layout)

With the Cross-Tab layout, you can map on a Cross-Tab summary field. For example, with a Cross-Tab that shows the total number of items of a product sold in each region of the United States, you may want to include a map that shows the percentage of the total sales of the product provided by each region.

In order to create a Cross-Tab map you must first have a Cross-Tab in your report. For more information about Cross-Tabs, see Cross-Tab Objects.

To map on a Cross-Tab summary
  1. Select the Cross-Tab summary field you want to base your map on.
  2. On the Insert menu, click Map.

    Tip:     Another way to do this is to click the Insert Map button on the Standard toolbar.

    The Map Expert dialog box appears.

  3. On the Data tab, in the Layout area, click Cross-Tab, if it is not already selected.
  4. In the Placement area, click Header or Footer to specify where to place your map.
  5. In the Data area, in the Geographic field list, click a geographic field to supply the geographic areas for your map.
  6. If necessary, in the Subdivided by list, click another field to map on.
  7. Crystal Reports uses this field to subdivide the pie or bar charts appearing on your map.
  8. In the Map on list, click a summary field to supply the numeric data for your map.
  9. Click the Type tab.
  10. Click the map type that best illustrates your data. See Map types.
  11. In the Options area, apply formatting options to your map.
  12. Click the Text tab.
  13. In the Map title field, enter a title for your map.
  14. In the Legend area, you can click one of the following options:
  15. If you click Full legend, click Made by map to have Crystal Reports create a legend title based on your map, or click Specify to enter your own legend title and subtitle.
  16. Click OK.

    Your map is placed in the Header or Footer section of the report, depending on your selection in Step 4.
