I use TeeChart mbSelfStack chart type to present simulations of rock types down a well. However, on all charts, the name of the first rock type, ordered alphabetically, is always shown on the bottom axis. An example of this is shown in the Tee9New demo in All features|Chart styles|Standard|Bar|Self Stacked where the words Cars can be seen. How to I easily prevent this word from being displayed?

I have made a bar chart using the count of genders & age groups of a dataset. It came as a normal bar chart.
But, I want to flip the chart horizontally. Simply, I want the Y Column on the Right side of the chart, not on the Left side (The traditional way).
N.B.: I don't want to swap the axis i.e. interchanging x and y axis.
I have created this: Created chart
But, I want to create like this:
Desired chart
A very easy thing to try is to edit the axis (by right clicking on the axis and choosing edit, or by just double clicking on the axis. Then you can check the reverse axis option and see if that satisfies you.
The axis will be reversed as you requested but the labels will still be on the left.
Putting the bar labels on the right requires more effort. One way is to make a separate chart that just lists the labels and then combine both on a dashboard
I have a stacked bar chart, with year on the x axis, and sales CY and sales LY on the y axis, also the bars are grouped (stacked) by company name, like in the picture below:
bar chart stacked example
The problem is I want to match the colors for the same companies, like: "united package CY" and "united package LY" have the same color for both, so will be easier to see the comparison between companies and years.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!
Yes you can, click on your chart and go to the chart properties on the right side under:
Chart > CustomPaletteColors.
Here you can add your defined chart colurs for each series. For example if you have 4 series you have 4 different colors. You can set the color for series1 the same as series2.
Depending on which positions your series are, they will look like one section or they will have another color between them. But you can reorder the position of the series if you need to.
In my chart, Incomprehensible what value of Y axis belong to X axis, what the best way to present the chart clearly. Attached Image.
Have you considered using StripLines?
Taken from this MSDN article
To show vertical strip lines, right-click the horizontal chart axis and click Horizontal Axis Properties.
Select the Use interlacing option. Grey strip lines will appear on your chart.
Applying this to a chart will then alternate the colour for each category on the X axis, such as this. This will make it clearer which columns belong to which X axis category.
Update
For use with a 3D Clustered column chart you will need to set up the Striplines in a more complicated way.
Select your X axis and find StripLines in the properties. Hit the '...' to open a new window.
Add a New Member and set it up as shown in the below image. This is effectively saying show a line for every second number, and offset the stripline by 0.5 of a category.
In my example I have set the BackgroundColour to MidnightBlue also, which gives an output similar to
With this alternating background it should make it clearer for your users to see which columns belong to which category.
Let me know if you need further assistance with this.
I want to show in one chart report two series of data, one as a horizontal bar and one as a line. When I select for the second series a line chart type, it changes also the chart type for the first series which was set to bars.
This works if I'm using vertical columns for the first series, but it seems it is not working the same with horizontal bars.
Is there any way around this?
No. You cannot create a chart with horizontal bars and lines.
SSRS doesnt allow it.
It is not logical to join two concepts which is transpose of each
other. It is like showing vertical bar chart and horizontal bar chart
in the same graph.
Line charts are used to show overall trends and
patterns over time(usually) or some other series. Bar charts are good
for comparing unordered/nominal items.
You need to reevaluate your decision to show these two together.
I have basically loosely followed this link
http://www.angelsbiblog.com/2012/02/improve-data-visualization-in-your-ssrs.html
and made the below linked graph. Its one dataset, I have simply pulled in Gross Profit and Sales fields. Neither are calculated fields. I put them in 2 different chart areas, but then as per that link, made the chart areas the same size so they overlay.

what I want to do, is as illustrated by that inserted green arrow in the graph image, is raise up the Zero line for the Income bars (yellow) to the same level as the Profit/Loss(Blue-Red).
I also want the vertical axis to preferably have the same axis, so i dont have to have that secondary axis on the right.
However the main thing is the graphs sharing their zero line. I have made the Profit bars smaller I width than the yellow bars, so in a month of blue profit, it would simply sit neatly inside the yellow income bar.
I haven't added expenses because it should be obvious what they are by the height differential btw Income to Profit or to the Loss.
Any ideas much appreciated.
I have just experienced this problem, but this page did not solve it.
Dan's answer ("simply set the minimum and maximum values for the vertical axes on both areas manually") came close, but did not solve the problem for me because I needed the axis to be automatically calculated. If the maximum of the two datasets is something like 193,456 then you get that exact value as a label on the axis rather than the sensible value of 200,000.
The solution is to allow SSRS to calculate the axis labels automatically but to trick it by using both sets of data in each chart. Then you hide the data set that you don't want the user to see.
In each chart I made the data series of interest a column chart and the other data series a line chart (without markers), as all you need to do is set the fill color for the line series to None. If you try the same with columns for the other series the invisible columns affect the position of the visible columns even if they have been set to zero width.
Make sure both series in the chart use the Primary Vertical axis. Go into properties for the Income series > Go to "Axes and Chart Area", and make sure that the series uses the primary vertical axis:
