Here, we do some pretty cool dashboarding in our CRM implementation. Unfortunately, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 only supports 5 standard (read: boring) chart types out of the box: Column, Bar, Line, Pie, and Funnel. Well, I take that back--Funnel is exciting, but the other 4 are definitely boring.

However, since CRM uses the standard .NET Framework Chart control, it is an undocumented feature that you can extend the charting visualizations to take advantage of many other chart types. And, even better, this can be done without development extension of the control! Read more for instructions to easily change the chart type of an existing or newly created chart in CRM...
