Filtering based on the count of a particular field

I'm trying to filter a pie chart to only show where there is more than one instance. The pie chart shows the number of articles that appear in each journal, but I want to exclude journals where # of articles is 1 (or less than 2)

Journal is a field

Article is a field 

The pie chart is using # of articles for data values.

  • You should be able to add a filter in the report settings for "where Articles is less than 2".

    If Articles are a child of the Journal record, then you first need to make a summary field for # of Articles, and then add the filter using this field.

    This will filter all of the data going into the delicious pie chart.

      Michael,

      It sounds like you are doing the pie chart off the articles table. I think what Garry is suggesting is to instead do the same pie chart but do it off the journals table.  We are assuming here that you have a relationship where one journal has many articles.

        Ah thanks. Right now, it's set up as only one table and within the Articles table, I have an article and an journal field.

         

        Setting up a Journals table would make sense.
