Im looking for a way of fixating the horizontal major gridlines. I need them to be positioned at 70 and 30. I am thinking of removing the major gridlines entirely and just add two striplines together with two textboxes indicating the level on the Y axis but I would prefer to do it with gridlines :)
an exaple with red lines below - disregard the existing gridlines.
Ended up using two striplines.

Although I have been able to split one of the legends into two columns on my map the other one is proving problematic in doing so. I cannot see any differences in the properties of each legend in terms of the item column customizing.
First of all, convert the legend to graphics (by right clicking the image and selecting convert to graphics). Follow this up by ungrouping the image into different elements. You can then just move the items across into a second column manually.
I have created a line chart which has the date as X-axis and Y-axis as calculated median value and its grouped according to "FileName". Problem is that some of the "FileName" has same median values which makes line overlap thus not able to see all the lines. Attached image shows only 5 lines but there are total 10 lines. After running query I found out other 5 has 50 as the median which makes it overlap with one of the line.
I tried using transparency and secondary axis but wasn't able to achieve the desired result. Is there any other solution to try out ? Thanks!
This is more of a data presentation issue than something specific to SSRS. If you are stuck on using a line chart, then I've only used two options:
1) Increment lines to different widths. For example, in a chart with 3 lines, the width is set to 5,3,1 pts.
2) Change the values insignificantly to offset the lines. Obviously this depends on the data being visualized as shifting the line slight (multiply by 0.1) may be allowable or highly discouraged depending on your situation.
Trying to do either option with 10 lines (and up to 5+ stacking) is not going to be very good.
I think Viking is right and you might want to check out other visualization options. Grouped column charts perhaps or just split your chart into multiple charts on the page (i.e. four separate trend charts)
I have an SSRS report with a bar chart with multiple series by CountryName Category group. What I want to do is have gridlines which split each country like below:
However in SSRS the major gridlines seem to interval with the line in the middle of the country name when the grid interval is set to 1 like below:
Can someone point me in the right direction into how to rectify this?
Also is there a way of adding the X axis in SSRS to start from zero like I have in my first graph?
Thanks
You can do it, there is an offset property on the grid lines (horizontal and vertical are separate). Click one one of the gridlines and look in the properties pane. Change the offset to 0.5.
Gives you this.
I'm not sure what you meant about starting from zero on the X-Axis, you have negative values so you'll start from a negative number. If you meant you wantde zero aligned to the middle. You can do that to. You need to set the min and max values of the horizontal axis to the following
Min Value:
=MAX(ABS(Fields!MyValueField.Value), "MyDataSet")*-1
Max Value will be:
=MAX(ABS(Fields!MyValueField.Value), "MyDataSet")
Basically we take the ABSolute largest value and use that as the extent (*-1 for the min value). The problem is that zero might not show so you'll have to play around with the Axis properties maybe to get that working. I'm sure it's possible but I don't have time to test at the moment.
My test data is not great as the number are large
Following up on my question from yesterday:
SciChart - showing labels for all ticks
Thanks to the answer I was able to get the label density where I needed it. But I still have problems with label placement. As you can see in the screenshot, rotating the labels caused them to stick upwards into the graph. I need them below the axis. I've tried everything I could find in the API that I thought might help me:
a TranslateTransform - I tried moving both X and Y both ways. No
result.
VerticalAnchorPoint and HorizontalAnchorPoint - setting
VerticalAnchorPoint to Center actually moved the labels, but only by
3mm and in the wrong direction.
Horizontal/Vertical
Alignment/ContentAlignment - didn't do anything.
I've even tried
bloating the labels by appending a lot of spaces to the strings. A desperate attempt, I know.
Furthermore, the horizontal position of the labels is not correct either. In the screenshot you can see the first bump on the graph goes down on what looks like CF.02. But in reality it's set to CF.01. It would seem the labels are moved to the left of their corresponding tick. I need them to be displayed below the center of their respective tick, like the original solution.
[edit: image removed to prevent potential client IP issues]
In the SciChart's WPF Xaml Styling a Chart example there is a demonstration of how to rotate labels by changing the AxisBase.TickLabelStyle.
This uses RenderTransform to rotate labels by 15 degrees. However, if you use 90 degrees, the labels overlap the surface.
Changing the RenderTransform to LayoutTransform forces labels to be drawn in the correct place (below the axis).
You can read more about the difference between RenderTransform and LayoutTransform here.
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:
