I am currently creating an SSRS report to show some statistics on VMs. There are several charts that each show statistics about the Clusters. Each cluster comes in pairs, and I want the graph to only show values based on which element of the pair they belong in.
For example, see the chart below:
I want to have this chart split into two, one that shows the line of Cluster that have "GB" at the end of their name, and another for the "SP"
I have in my datasets the value that could distinguish them, but I basically want to only display a line if it belongs to a certain subset of all the information.
Create a list item with a group.
The group expression should be set to something like =Right(Fields!server.Value,2)
Now place the chart inside the list item. The group will create a distinct chart for each combination of the last 2 characters of server name

I am converting a chart report from Crystal to SSRS. In Crystal the chart is in a group header, so I defined it once and for each new group. When the report is run the chart is printed once for each group. How do I do the same in SSRS. SSRS will not allow me to drag a field to the row groups or column groups area. Or do I have to copy the chart for each group in the data?
Thanks in advance

To repeat a chart for different groups, use a LIST to do the overall grouping and put your chart or table inside it.
Here I have a table of data that I wanted to break up by location.
I created a List to group by location and put the table inside. Notice the grouping bracket on the left side of the tables. The LIST groups everything.
You would set the list dataset to the same as your data and group on the field(s) for your grouping.

I'm trying to create a label report in SSRS (yeah yeah I know, old school. Moving to 2014 shortly but need this report now) where all the labels contain the same data. Basically the user picks a single person from a list and prints a whole page of labels for that person.
There are a few ways to do this.
There is a multi-column property on the report body. It is in the columns[] property. You can select 1...n columns. This will duplicate your label x number of times across the page.
Add a table to the report and create X number of columns. In each column place a rectangle with your label fields.
In both cases your should bind your report to a dataset that returns the targeted user's label data repeated for however many number of times you need the repeaters to repeat.
I am trying to create a SSRS report that will have multiple items such as charts and tablix on that will group by Customer.
For example we have 3 different charts which use different data sets but we want to show a group of charts by customer like Customer A has X amount of incidents, X amount of Problems and X amount of Service Request (but we want them displayed in charts)
I tried a list grouping but it keeps amending the whole group of charts data sets.
You have to combine a few different features to get this functionality.
First of all, when you have multiple elements such as charts, you'll want to insert a rectangle first and then drag the charts into it. This keeps their layout consistent.
Next, you will need to insert a Table. Delete the header row and two of the columns so you're left with just a single cell and the "Details" group. Set this to be grouped by customer ID. Also set it to page break between instances of the group.
Finally, drag the entire rectangle into this table cell. Now the entire contents of the rectangle will repeat with a separate customer on each page. The table inherently filters all the objects inside it to that customer.
I've seen how to's on how to display combined data however, I would like to keep all data separate in their own rows and columns. It seems to have to do with grouping, but when I attempt to delete the grouping, the report has an error when trying to run. I would like to prevent the cells from combining like in this
When you are creating a report in the wizard, any items that are set in the red Group section will create a new grouping.
You want to place all the fields you want to see in the blue Detail section of the wizard. There is no grouping in the details. If you have a group
Putting fields in the orange Page section will cause a new page to be created for every new value.
In this example, the wizard will create a report that will Page based on the Region. Each region will have it's own section that includes a Vendor group and each vendor group consists of member claims (it's in health care). It will create a new page for each region then group each vendor's members claim within that region.
I have a report which contains input parameters "Server Groups" and "Servers"
The report displays a number of performance metrics (in chart form). Each metric has it's own chart and data is obtained via a SCOM database.
The problem I'm having is that some server groups contain many servers usually over 10 which makes plotting data on a chart (+10 Series) very cluttered and difficult to read.
Is there a feature within Report Builder 3.0 that will generate a second chart and plot series # 6-10 and a third chart for series # 11-15 and so on?
I've looked at placing the chart in a matrix and also using multiple chart areas but haven't been able to find a solution.
Can anyone suggest a solution, perhaps there is a expression I could use?
Thanks
=================================
OK, I had put this issue aside for some time but now I had to revisit it. It still remains unresolved but I think I'm getting closer.
I can place the charts in a table and then group the table by the series data (servers). This will give me one series (server) per chart. I can also use this expression... =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/10)
which would work if I wanted to generate a new chart per X number lines retrieved from the database. The problem is there are many multiple lines of data per series because there is a date component to the data retrieved.
Can anyone suggest an expression that might fit my requirements?
One thought is to put your chart inside a list. Then you would need to add a column to your results that assigns the group. I'm not sure the best way to do that for your dataset, but if you can find a way to come up with a ranking of your servers from 1 to n, and then use a case statement to assign servers 1-5 to group 1, 6-10 to group 2, etc. Then your list can use this server grouping. The rendered reprot will show a chart containing data for each server grouping separately.
