Some days ago I had to modify a SSRS Report in order to add another group. That Report contains a Chart which before this change was properly shown, but now, In the Web Report Viewer It looks ok.
But when exporting to Excel (xls), The Chart looks like to be compacted:
And the user has to expand at least the groups that are aligned with the chart in order to see It well.
I tried to create a Subreport with only the chart embedded, also tried to put the chart inside a rectangle but none of those solutions worked.
In Excel there is a property for the images to indicate not moving nor sizing with cells and It does the trick but I cannot see the property in the Chart stuff.
Do you know how to have the graph displayed properly without having to expand the groups?
I'm working with SSRS 2008 R2.
Just put a rectangle on your report then cut the chart, click in the rectangle and paste it in. That will stop it trying to align with the table.
It's important that you don't just drag the chart onto the rectangle. You must cut and paste it in.

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have a report with 5 sub sections of data, each surrounded with a Rectangle.
I am wanting each sub section to appear on a new page and then be able to export to Excel and each section to appear on a new Tab.
I set Page Break / Break Location in each Rectangle to "Start" and label the PageName to what I want to call the Tab. When I run the report the 4 subsections show correctly but I am left with a blank page before I get the 5 section, but when I export it to Excel it appears correctly.
What I want is 5 pages in the report for each section and when exporting I want 5 tabs, can someone tell me where I am going wrong with setting the pagebreaks if that is indeed what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks
As you are successfully exporting to Excel, but not the report viewer, this suggests your report and page sizes are not correctly set up on your 4th subsection.
When you have report elements that are slightly too large for your report page, the parts that 'overhang' will generate a new page of just the part that overhangs. This is often a very small amount of white space, so it looks like the page is completely blank. When you are exporting to formats such as excel, this does not matter so you correctly see the page breaks as new sheets.
To check whether this is the case, add borders and fills of different colours to all your rectangles and then run the report. On your 4th 'blank' page, if you see any colours or borders you will know which rectangle or report element is growing beyond its page.
I'm having a very rough time trying to group this SSRS chart correctly. It's easy as pie in Excel. So I'm wondering what I need to do in SSRS to duplicate it.
There are no hard errors to report other than the data is not being displayed the way I want it to be displayed.
One image shows the Chart Data I am passing into the chart, the other shows the visual appearance.
The final image is taken from Excell and shows what I am trying to do inside SSRS. The Excel chart displays it just about perfectly to what I am looking for.
The next two images are from excell. One displays just about perfectly how I am trying to get it to look on SSRS. The other one is how I am passing the data into SSRS.
Any idea how I need to group the data within the SSRS chart to display it the way I am looking for?
i don't think you can create the exact copy of that graph, but
try making the graph larger (taller) and also change vertical axis interval to 1
(right click on vertical axis go into properties>> axis options >> interval 1)
you can get something like this

I have made a report with a pie chart. I want the series data labels outside the chart as you see in the images below. However the label value ClassificationMemberName is getting cut off at the top and bottom when I run the report.
As you see below for example, International Funds is getting trimmed at the top and bottom as are several of the other labels. You can't see the entire letter.
In design mode I see no way to resize the series labels through the GUI. I experimented extensively with various properties settings, but could not find a way to work around this problem including altering the font size.
The report has a parent and a subreport. The chart is in the subreport. If it's helpful here are the rdls

Thank you for your help.
I figured this out. The software vendor had placed custom code in the series label properties that was actually sizing the text based on the corresponding pie chart size. So the bigger the pie slice, the more the label was being cut off. I removed this code in the expression editor and used a static value for the property of the pie slices (classificationmembername) and now the text is not being cut off.
In ssrs, I have a report which has four charts in it.
The four charts has the same design.
when i preview it,the first chart is set to shown by default and
we have a link on first chart that should redirect to the third chart.
when we preview it, the position of the first chart is displayed correctly just below the header of the report and when we click the link which should navigate to the third chart, we are getting the third chart but the position of the chart is changing.
It is occupying more blank space between the header and the chart so that we are not able to view the chart at one time.
How can we remove the space between the header and the chart so that the position of the third chart should be same as the position of the first chart.
Please suggest.
A screenshot would help here.
A common issue is overlapping controls that, when rendered, shift one another around in sometimes unexpected ways. Double check to make sure that the chart control isn't sitting directly atop anything else in your RDL.
I am using report builder 3.0. I created a column chart. I want to place words(Requirements <= 700ms) on top of the chart defining a dashed line that I placed on the chart. I added a textbox, tried to set all the right values to display it on top of the chart but it gets put below the chart. I tried creating a list, dropping the textbox into the list, still displays the word below the chart and not on top of the chart. Does anyone know how to do this?
Placing textboxes over charts can produce unpredictable behavior.
What you might be able to do is create multiple titles and manually position them using the Custom Position property.
It's a pain, but it's much more organized than trying to manually place textboxes.
