SSRS bar chart with multiple categories - reporting-services

I have built some quite ssrs charts, but is it possible to create below bar chart n SSRS.
![click on the link below to show the bar chart][1]
but when am creating this in ssrs , am getting report as below.
I am getting the report in ssrs as below, but not like the above one:

If you want to include the heading as they are in your first image, you will need to be clever with your dataset.
Personally I would probably take the approach of including dummy chart values to get your Category heading without a corresponding bar in the chart, such as:
Group Order Category Value
31 to 60 Days 1 31 to 60 Days 0
31 to 60 Days 2 Today 14
31 to 60 Days 3 1 Month Ago 12
31 to 60 Days 4 2 Month Ago 44
Up to 30 Days 1 Up to 30 Days 0
Up to 30 Days 2 Today 11
Up to 30 Days 3 1 Month Ago 8
Up to 30 Days 4 2 Month Ago 21
From which you can:
Group your Categories using the Group value
Display each Category in its correct order by sorting on the Order column
Actually display your chart values using the Value column, which will show nothing for your group headings
How you get your data into that format will depend on your data source, but should be fairly trivial if you are using a SQL source.

SSRS web report missing rows

When my web report runs, it misses a few columns. I have setting to data element to output but does not fix the issue.
Example below is illustrates the issue counting number of days in each week. The data exists but Weeks 3 and 5 are missing day counts.
WEEK 1 2 4 6
DAYS 7 7 7 7

Access Report Subgroup summing

In MS Access 2010, assume a query contains the following results:
Date Activity Hours
1.9. Reading 1
1.9. Writing 2
2.9. Reading 1
3.9. Talking 1
4.9. Reading 3
1.10. Talking 2
1.10. Writing 1
2.10. Reading 2
3.10. Talking 2
4.10. Reading 1
the Report should show the sum of hours spent each month grouped by activity, something like
Month Activity Hours
September Reading 5
Writing 2
Talking 1
October Reading 3
Writing 1
Talking 4
using the wizard I mange to get a report which looks like
Month Activity Hours
September Reading 1
Reading 1
Reading 3
Writing 2
Talking 1
October Reading 2
Reading 1
Writing 1
Talking 2
Talking 2
which is nearly what I'd like to have but.. ?
I tried =sum(Hours), but then all Hours fields simply contain the total sum of all hours, and I still get several lines for the same activity.
Actually the report is more complicated. In a form prior to the report, the user can enter a date range (e.g. September 1 - October 30). The report should sum over the whole time range and not break up to months, that is:
Date range Activity Hours
9/1 - 10/30 Reading 8
Writing 3
Talking 5
Create a query with a SQL like this:
SELECT MonthName(Month([Date])), Activity, SUM(Hours)
FROM yourTable
WHERE [Date] >= xxx AND [Date] <= yyy
GROUP BY MonthName(Month([Date])), Activity
The key element is the GROUP BY clause, it sums the Hours per Month + Activity.
Then base your report on that query.
BTW, it is not a good idea to call a column "Date", it's a reserved word in Access.

SSRS bar char x-axis formatting

I've got a chart that overlays the past 2 years (taken from the current date) worth of data onto a 1 year range, so the monthly values can be compared between years. The x-axis values are week numbers.
Currently, I've got the x-axis like this:
-------------------- etc
1 2 3 4 5
What I want is to start the x-axis with the week for the earliest date in my data set, so my x-axis looks like this:
--------------------------...-------
49 50 51 52 1 2 3 ... 47 48
How do I get the chart control to get my x-axis to appear like this?
You need to have another column that contains the year, sort by this first, then the week number, then only display the week number in the axis.
So assuming your data is something like:
You would apply two sorts to the category group, Year then Week, but only display Week in the axis label.
I have left all the Category Axis Properties as default:
This gives the expected result:

Counting unique records by month

I'm a newbie to Access 2010. I have a table:
ID Mth OrderID Net Sales
1 1 3 36
2 1 2 12
3 1 2 20
4 2 1 10
I'd like to get a summary by Mth of the OrderID count, Quantity of those orders, and Net Sales of the those orders:
Mth Ordercount Quantity Net Sales
1 2 7 68
2 1 1 10
Is there a way to do this?
I'd also like to convert Mth = 1 into Month = Jan 2013 but have it list in date order, rather than alphabetically.
Mth
Jan 2013
Feb 2013
How do I do that?
So far, I've only been working with the design view and have not using an SQL code.
This can be done mostly in the design viewer of access although it would require creating more than one query and using those as a source instead of a table or you could write a sub select in sql code.
For your first question you will need to perform a distinct count on order id's based on month. This question answers the same problem and will provide the output you need.
Once you have a query that provides the number of orders per month you can create a new query that joins the table and your query on month with Net Sales as a total field. Where is quantity coming from in your source data?
To display the month number as month access has a MonthName function you can use. You can add 2013 to this by adding & " 2013" to the end of the expression.
You can sort on month by adding your month field a second time for the sorting but uncheck show box.

SSRS 2008 month number not displayed in order

I have a SSRS 2008 report that generated columns of the months along with other data based on year halves. I have the tablix column group and sort set for [Mon] and the first half of the year generated just fine but when I run the report for the second half it does not display in order :
MonthNumber 10 11 12 7 8 9
MonthName October Movember December July August September
The SQL code that is used generated the following rows which appear in order of month number.
Mon
7
8
9
10
11
12
I would say that Mon is being treated as a string value, for whatever reason, i.e. from the query or in the dataset definition, as you can see that in your example the columns are being sorted as strings, i.e. 10 will be before 7 when sorted as text and not numeric values.
You have two options:
First is to sort by an expression like: =CInt(Fields!Mon.Value), i.e. explicitly sorting as an integer, which solve the issue if Mon is being treated as text.
The other option is to make sure that Mon is being treated as an integer at the dataset level - either way should be fine.
