I am trying to change the color of the axis labels in a bar chart in Slate but setting the color property does not seem to do anything.
You need to use the ‘fill’ property instead of the color property.

I have a bar chart and I would like the text to be left-aligned. I've tried checking the Vertical Axis Properties and there are Label and Label Font settings, but alignment is not one of the settings.
What I've tried:
I have tried to use the alignment icons on the toolbar, but they are grayed out. I've also tried right-clicking on the chart, choosing Chart > Layout, and all of the alignment options are grayed out there as well.
What is the best method to align the labels to the left, while keeping the gradient bars looking the same please?
I do not think this is possible using a chart.
What you can do instead is to create a table with two columns, grouped on the same field as your chart Category. In the first column you can simply put the Category label and in the second column add a chart, you can use a data bar.
This will allow you to format your 'labels' and chart bars as you see fit.
I'm going nuts trying to control the label position for a barchart. I want the labels to be above the bars and it mostly works. For a large dataset, a couple of bars have the label inside the bar and the rest are all above. For a smaller dataset, the labels all are above. I can't find ANY combination of properties that work consistently.
Click on the series in your chart then on the right side where the properties are under Labels -> Position -> Change to Top.
I have a report with multiple tables and one chart of type Stacked Column.
The thing I'm trying to achieve is to set background and border for some of the Stacked Columns in the chart based on some data column. Just to be clear, the border and the background i want to be not to the stacked column itself, but the background "rectangle" where the column is drawn.
I found options to set background of the column itself and border ... but that is not what I need.
Any suggestions?
I'm using SQL 2016 Reporting service
The background of a chart is controlled by the Chart Area properties. You should be able to select the Chart Area by clicking on white space within the chart's axis, and adjust it's BackgroundColor properties from there.
If you want to have varying colours on different parts of a single chart area, you can achieve this with StripLines. These can be set on the X and/or Y chart axis properties, depending on if you want horizontal or vertical variance.
I am using SSRS 2005(MS-BIDS 2005) to design reports.For designing one of the table i have a requirement to draw a horizontal lines above and below group headers and footers as shown in the image below
When i try to drag and drop a line from the tool box, i get the below error
Is there any way using which i can draw lines as shown in the image.
Thanks in advance :) .
You can use borders property. Make top and bottom border style as solid in border style and rest as None. Then border color as Black do it where you want lines. And just set border style as None where you don't want it.
I have a report that I am creating in Report Builder 3.0 that I appear unable to set the color value (or any value) on TextBoxes Borders.
I have a list that I have added a text box to. I then click on the text box and select Text Box Properties ... then click Border, the value for Color: is Black. If I change this value to anything else and then click OK, then come back into Text Box properties it is set back to Black. Any idea what is going on here? Is this not the correct way to set a border color?
It looks like when changing the Border color you need to follow the following procedure (if doing a color change or if trying to do an expression to get that color)
Change Color (or create expression)
Click None (for no border)
Click Outline (for border)
Click OK
Not sure why you need to remove and re-add the border (outline), but this appears to fix the issue. If you do not remove and re-add the border (outline) it looks like it reverts to the default (which in my case was black).
You need to set the tablix border to None and then set each cell border to Solid. Making any changes to the tablix then the cell makes the Default come back since you have not set the tablix border to None.
I was having the same problem (except I wanted the border widths changed).
In testing HDog's answer, I've discovered that the reason you need to re-add the border after making changes to the properties is so that you can select the actual border you want to apply the changes to.
For example, if you want a white border on the left and a blue border on the right, select None (for no borders), change the color property to white, select the left border (it will show in white), change the color property to blue, and select the right border (it will show in blue). Then click "OK".
If you come back to the border properties for that cell, you will see the color property set back to black, but the actual borders you change still in the color you set them to.
