How about configuring the chart to NOT display the labels, and instead create a subreport to stick in underneath the chart that does the label creation? Just a crazy thought I had, I haven't tried charting in CR yet so maybe this isn't even possible, but I have done similar things in other applications to fake out a data label type of thing. It's not a kludgy as actually putting fake values in your data, if it works.

>I have a bar chart with specified order grouping. The specified groups appear as labels below the chart where I have data for that group. How can I get the label to appear below the chart if there is no data for a group.

I found a possible solution on the CrystalDecision.com website, but don't like it because it involves writing a VB program to fake it out. There must be a better way? Thanks very much.
