I work in a manufacturing environment. We record defects (scrap and rework) on parts for 9 different reasons (eg Weld Fault). I need to chart this for a dashboard in SSRS.
In SSRS, I am pulling the data out into a stacked bar chart so I can see total defects per defect type (and it's split by Scrap / Rework) , and this works great, however I want it to appear as a Stacked Pareto format (so, most common on the left, and reduces down to the right)
I'm relatively new to SSRS so this is a learning curve. I'm guessing I need to do something with the Running Value - I've looked at using this to sort by, but according to the error received I cannot sort by RunningValue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could create a stacked Pareto?
Assuming you already have a stacked barchart, but it is not sorted largest to smallest.
All you should need to do is right mouse click on your category group, then click on the sorting tab then enter into the Expression something like
=Count(Fields!Type.Value)
or
=Sum(Fields!Items.Value)
Depending on whether your bars sum a field or are counts of records in your dataset. It should be the same as the series calculation, ie what highlighted below
To make largest to smallest you will need to change the sort order to Z to A.

Here's the issue.
I have the following report, which consists of a table (not matrix) that has 3 different levels of grouping
Report Design
I'm quite familiar with a basic function of interactive sorting, but what i need to do here is as follows:
Having in mind the pic previously shown, I need to add a Interactive sorting to the column "Porcentaje %" (percentage) in each one of the repetitions of LV1 entries, the issue is that I need that the sorting works on the LV3 group WITHOU affecting the sorting of LV2 group.
I have made the basic configurations on the Textbox Properties dialog, in the Interactive Sorting section, and the report do not crash, but also doesnt sort the information.
any ideas on how to do this?
Also, the headers are part of a ColumnGroup that repeats on each month i'm filtering on the report. Said group has the property Hidden set as true, and is toggled by a "Totals" columns outside the group.
I am using Reporting Services 2016. I have 6 charts that I need to only show the top 10 results. Currently, if the report only returns a value for 9 of the category groups, the report shows all of the category groups (values on x-axis), instead of the top 10. (see image below)
I understand why this is happening but am looking for a work around, or if this is going to be correct in a future release.
Also, if I try to use an expression to create a calculated field to flag which results to show if there are less than 10 that have a value. I get an error returned saying that aggregates cannot be used in filters.
The reason that you have so many bars in not because SSRS doesn't filter them out, it's because they are all tied for the 10th spot with zero value and SSRS TOP 10 will always show all ties for 10th place.
You need to implement a tiebreaker condition in your expression based on another value or additionally add another filter which removes zero values from your chart.
I am self-teaching myself SSRS, but I can't figure out this issue. I am doing a bar chart that shows the number of cases by time group, the different time groups are on the x-axis and include "12AM-2AM", "2AM-4AM", etc. However depending on the day I choose (in the parameter), their is not a case for every time group and so SSRS is only showing those time groups with a case, but I would like it to show every time group from 12AM to llPM and just show 0 when their is no case for that time group. Any tips for this issue?
Thanks!
The simplest method is to alter the properties on the chart. There should be a custom attributes section. Set the 'EmptyPointValue' to 'zero' which should give you the chart that you are looking for.
The source data is a SSAS cube, which contains information about tickets, particularly priority, date opened, and date closed.
Each ticket has a priority and date opened value, though the closed value may be null or another placeholder value (subject to change).
A ticket is represented by a record in the source table with the mentioned attributes, and in the cube each of the dates are linked to a date dimension record (with the exception of the potentially null closed date).
I utilize a named-set to limit the data from the cube to the past 13 months.
The desired result is a multiple column stacked bar chart, the Series Grouping should be Priority thereby creating the stack with Y-axis representing a ticket count dependent on the X-axis which is a grouping by month.
Each month grouping should have a stack dependent on the opened and closed dates.
The closest I've come is utilizing the category expressions but I have beginners knowledge in this.
Any suggestions in either the way I'm pulling the dataset from the cube with MDX to alleviate the creation of the chart or features of the SSRS chart control are welcome.
Thank you.
After exhaustive investigation, it seems that this is a common problem when using Role-Playing Dimensions in your OLAP cube. That is multiple joins from a single fact back to a single dimension. For example when attempting to generate a report with Date on an axis, where the Date dimension is the Role-Playing Dimension, there is a non-user friendly experience.
This article helped in providing a solution to modeling the data in a slight different way.

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.
