TeeChart and RBuilder datapipeline calc variable

rbuser

Hi,

I'm trying to build a Chart from simple data.
I had originally 1 dataset with gender / contract type / count.
It doesn't appear to be possible to split this in 2 series so I made 2
dataset.

One with "man" data (contract type and a count() op the Calc tab) and
the same with "woman" data.

I made a serie1 for the men where I chose dataset "Man", label
Contract type and Bar = Count().
When I try to do the same with serie2 for the women I canno't "see"
(or select) the "Count()" field. Only contract type as label.

Can anyone help me?
I cannot find any help on the Steema website...

Thankx

Chantal

Hi Chantal,

We have not seen this behavior before. Be sure the second series is
connected to the second datapipeline. Double check to be sure the Count(*)
field is present in the second dataset. In my quick testing I created two
similar datasets each with a Count(*) calc field and was successfully able
to access that field in each series of a DBTeeChart for each pipeline.

I have controlled everything and I don't get it.

Can it be that the systeem gets a little confused because my 2 dataset
are based on the same tables/fields, with only different search
criteria's?

I've tried to give them different names (via the SQL tab), but I still
cannot see the count(*) variable in the serie source...

I've also tried to add other calc variables, I don't see them either.
Only normal fields.

I'll try building the report again in a different order to see what it
does.

Thankx,

Chantal

Hi Chantal,

Which version of TeeChart and ReportBuilder are you using?

If possible please create a simple example demonstrating the issue that I
can run on my machine and send it in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

We use TreeChart Pro v7.12.

I managed to make one that works, with another field, instead of
contract type per gender I did age group per gender, I builded the
dataset with de "wizard" instead of manually in the design window.
It's actually the "same" report, only the data in that field is
different.

I get a nice chart with both series on it.

I'm wondering if the "data" could generate the problem.

It's actually funny, I made the same report 4-5 times, and sometimes I
get the count field for one of the series, sometimes for none of them.
I can see it when I select the label but then is the list empty by
bar...

If I manage to make an example that "crashes" via Delphi (our report
builder is embedded in our software) I'll send it.

Thankx,

Chantal
