Steps: Create a crosstab Insert a chart in the aggregation/measure cell Run the report Expected: The designer should not allow dropping charts inside the crosstab cell or The crosstab and charts should be rendered correctly Result: An exception is shown: org.eclipse.birt.report.service.api.ReportServiceException: Error happened while running the report; nested exception is:

Created attachment 71441 [details] report to reproduce the issue
This needs to be disabled at the UI level until the engine can support it. Since the UI doesn't have any way to know what is supported in the crosstab container, the crosstab model should define what kind of contents it can accept. Reassigning to model team for futher investigation. I propose this should be fixed in RC4, as it is quite a serious usability issue.
The exception is only thrown out when the Chart reference to the xtab's dataset. If the Chart has its own dataset, the report should be generated correctly. So, I think we should not just disable this for all Chart inside xtab. Maybe need some documentations to tell user the right user case. Set to 2.2.1 for the next support of the inner Chart use the outter xtab's dataset.
The chart can still be generated when reference to an independent dataset, it just doesn't work when use "inherited dataset" within crosstab. I think currently either we leave it as is and wait untill engine has supported nested cube query, or temporarily add check in chart builder UI to disable "inherited dataset" when the binding holder has no valid dataset property (in this case, only cube is set in the binding holder).
I don't think there is much meaning to reference a different dataset for a chart inside a crosstab. The typical (and default) scenario is to inherit the data, and that is the one that fails.
I suggest we defer this to 2.2.1.
Need add check in engine to give more friendly messages instead of exceptions. The crosstab processing flow should still be able to continue. As David suggested: "showing an error in the report that explains what is wrong and how to fix it, like “the {table/chart/customtype} {itemname} does not support data inheritance inside a crosstab, please bind it to a dataset or move it outside the crosstab”, rather than the exception which is not very helpful now." Please schedule this to 2.3 after made the change, until then we can address the full support.
Engine has changed the exception message friendly if chart inherits the outer crossTab's dataset.
the remain part should be implemented in 2.3
DTE should provide an API to execute nest-cubquery.
Engine have changed the APIs to satisfy the request.
re-assign to Wei Yan for further investigation. Thanks.
depends on 197304, suggest moving to next milestone
Data in chart is not correct, Reassign to chart team to investigate.
Added xtab integration support for chart in multi-dimension case.
