Charts with N:N relationship entities

Posted on by 20

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!

    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.
