Showing pie chart based on DatagroupColumn

[sabarishbabu]

Hi,
 
 i want to show the pie chart based on DataGroupcolumn

3 columns -
1.resource name - legend
2. usage time - Y axis
3. Date - X axis
Line chart is showing correctly,This is the coding i used(displaying number of lines based on resources)

                 DataSet dsChart = new DataSet();
                Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart chart = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart)sender;
                Telerik.Reporting.Chart chartDef = (Telerik.Reporting.Chart)chart.ItemDefinition;
                chartDef.PlotArea.XAxis.Clear();
                dsChart = DBMethods.GetDetailsForInstrumentUsageByDateChart(facilityId, fromDate, toDate, isActual, resourceId);
                (sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart).DataSource = dsChart;
                chartDef.DefaultType = Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeriesType.Line;
                chartDef.DataGroupColumn = "resource_name";
                chartDef.AutoLayout = true;
                chartDef.IntelligentLabelsEnabled = true;
                chartDef.Legend.Appearance.GroupNameFormat = "#VALUE";//this will display the usage time
                chartDef.PlotArea.XAxis.DataLabelsColumn = "date";











How to show the pie chart based on those three fields?


Thanks for any help

Hi sabarishbabu,

Both chart types are not completely interchangeable and you will lose information with the pie type. Please, clarify exactly how do you expect the pie series to be rendered given your data.
