I want to put an asterik next to the numbers on the Group axes (i.e. the numbers on the X axis of the chart) or on the data values of the chart.
Any clues?Cant you use text object for this?|||Can't use text box since it is a dynamic chart and the positions of the data values and group axis values change at runtime.|||Couldn't you write a formula and use that in place of your datafield?
Something like
"*" + " " + {table.field} and then place that in your chart?
Don't quote me that this will work, but I like to take a stab at things to see if I can make them work.

Chart Axes Labels
I need to dynamically name the axes of a chart as the data plotted can be changed - Sliced. Ie. Sales dollars, Quantity, Profit etc.
The dataset that is used to plot the graph does not contain the measure description (it's a generic name - MeasureModifier). There is a second data set that contains all the descriptions that the report can be sliced on.
I have a text box that displays the description of the measure and I tried referencing the value as an expression from the Y axes title expression box. - =ReportItems!Parameter1_1.value
However it returns "Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope."
Does anybody know of any other way I can referrence values outside the dataset that the object is derived from?
Cheers
KevinI can actually reference a regular textbox value for the y axes label.
What I can't do - from the Y axes label or even from another text box is reference a value from a textbox that is inside a list box. The list box has a filter that only returns one row from the data set and the textbox displays the field from the dataset. I need to reference that value for the Y axes title but keep getting the error below when I use ReportItems!...
Any ideas how to overcome this?
Thanks
