Hi, I would try something sneaky like forcing the pie to be positioned 1 pixel below the top of the table block. I expect you already have relative positioning set to the right of the table. By setting a position relative to the top of the table block, when it (the table) moves to a new page then the pie should also.

Hi Dave

The relative blog post is absolutely great. I have a slightly different requirement. I am positioning a pie chart adjacent(towards right) of the table in the report. Report has 2 secrions. I have enabled the Avoid Page Break proeprty for the table. I want both the graph & table to be displayed together in same page. Sometimes the table is displayed in next page & chart in upper page & vice versa

Any work around for this

Regards

The technique involves checking to see if a block was empty. What I suggested was that for one graph it should continue to work the same way, but the other graph would have to check for both “above” blocks, and if both are empty (the situation outlined in a prior question) then it should not appear at all. That would prevent both “lower” blocks from showing up at the same time if both “upper” blocks were empty.

Hey Dave Thank you very much for sharing an ounce of knowledge from the Chunks you have.

My question… is not different.. its the same Wasi asked. I’m not able to understand your answer to Wasi. though the work around by Wasi works fine…. but i just want to avoid that Union.

Regards,
Shiva

Hi, deepak, and welcome to my blog. To answer your question, no, I have never tried to create waterfall charts with this technique.

Hi, Raja, if you have general questions not related to a blog post I suggest that you post on the community board BOB instead, thanks.
