Hi everyone,

We have around 40 different services and each contact can be linked to any number of those and vice versa (related entity).

What I want to do is create a chart where I see service names on the x axis and number of individual contacts linked to those services on the y axis.

This is certainly not complicated but I just cannot get round to this.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

RE: Charts with N:N relationship entities

Hi jrymkiewicz,

You can refer to the following link:

https://crmchartguy.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/nn-relationship-charts-in-ms-dynamics-crm/

I can achieve it successfully:

1.Create one chart:

2. Export and Edit chart xml(Red is the modified part):

Original:

<datadefinition>
  <fetchcollection>
    <fetch mapping="logical" aggregate="true">
      <entity name="new_services">
        <attribute name="new_name" groupby="true" alias="_CRMAutoGen_groupby_column_Num_0" />
        <attribute name="new_name" aggregate="count" alias="_CRMAutoGen_aggregate_column_Num_0" />
      </entity>
    </fetch>
  </fetchcollection>
  <categorycollection>
    <category alias="_CRMAutoGen_groupby_column_Num_0">
      <measurecollection>
        <measure alias="_CRMAutoGen_aggregate_column_Num_0" />
      </measurecollection>
    </category>
  </categorycollection>
</datadefinition>

Edit:

<datadefinition>
<fetchcollection>
<fetch mapping="logical" aggregate="true">
<entity name="new_services">
<link-entity name="new_new_services_contact" from="new_servicesid" to="new_servicesid">
<attribute alias="CountOfContacts" name="new_servicesid" aggregate="count" />
</link-entity>
<attribute groupby="true" alias="GroupBy" name="new_servicesid" />
</entity>
</fetch>
</fetchcollection>
  <categorycollection>
    <category alias="GroupBy">
      <measurecollection>
        <measure alias="CountOfContacts" />
      </measurecollection>
    </category>
  </categorycollection>
</datadefinition>

3.Import it.

4.Result:

===========================

If you don't want to export and import, you can use 'AdvancedChartEditor' xrmtoolbox to edit chart directly.
