I'm creating a report using Visual Studio 2015.
I have a table containing a bar chart in each row.
This is what I have:
And I want to have a x-axis at the bottom of the table but only there and not in each row that relates to all graphs.
Something like this:
Thanks for helping :)
I have done this in the past. You can place an additional Chart in the footer of the table with the same width as your bar charts. You may have to wrestle with the padding. Turn off everything but the x-axis in the footer's bar chart and wrestle with the alignment by finding obscure offset properties and it should work.

How can I have fixed rectangle inside the report body for every page ? I am placing a tablix, after that a matrix inside that rectangle.
I have attached pictures of my ddl design view, pdf view and desired result layout.
So far, I have tried to use fixed tablix size by using sql insert empty row. But this way, I wasn't able to put my matrix inside it.
By simply using rectangle, since the rectangle is fixed sized and I am getting problem when my tablix has more data and it is pushing down the rectangle if I have some space below my tablix and matrix.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
In your Report Properties, set the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace setting to true and make your Rectangle as large as it need to be on a page. In doing this, the tables will grow into the white space with each row and not push the bottom of the rectangle until the table is too large to fit.
I am using SSRS (on top of SQL Server 2014). I am making a 3D horizontal stacked bar chart, but there are some display properties that I cannot figure out, despite all information available.
I Am wondering how/if the two measures in the chart above, a & b, can be set:
(a) The depth of the bar chart. Can I make this smaller? I want a much narrower bar.
(b) The offset of the chart from the axis. Is there a way to make the bar hug right up against the axis? Maybe I'm the only one, but when I look at the right extreme of the bar,I have trouble telling how close it falls to the 300 line due to this unnecessary offset.
Furthermore, does SSRS allow me to control things like the color rendering of the chart? Here is an example from another BI reporting tool:
This one has black outlines around all of the bars. Is SSRS capable of this? Mostly, I am just wondering if SSRS can make a chart that looks more like the latter.
The first two can be easily changed.
To set the bar width and border colour, click on one of the bars then hit F4 to bring up the properties pane.
In the properties, expand Custom Attributes and set the point width to something smaller, say 0.2 and set the border colour and style to your choosing.
Here's a screen-grab of the properties to give a nice garish red border and smaller bars.
To set the bars against the base, go to the horizontal (or vertical if you want to change this too) axis properties and set Side Margins to Disabled.
This gives this output...
In SSRS in a bar chart, in order to save space I would like to put two bars inside of each other (or behind if you want to say so, but not stacked). How is that possible?
See example image.
Sample image
I believe the trick is to create a standard vertical column chart, then change the bigger bar's series to a range column chart. Then change the 'point width' attribute of each series to be different, so one bar fits in the other.
My requirement is to display images dynamically next to the bars in SSRS charts. I have been using many ways and was not able to find an apt solution to the problem.
I have used the bar graphs and a tablix to display images next to the bars. I have used an expression in order to repeat the images based on the number of the rows obtained from the dataset.
But the main problem is with the alignment of the images with the bars. Here's a pic.
And when the parameter/selection is changed the alignment of the images with the bars get scrambled.
I need to get the images adjacent to the bars just like the previous image(image1) even if the selection is changed.
Is there any way I can get through this?
Please share a solution.
Thanks.

IMO your image is meaningless clutter, but anyway ...
I would insert a column into the existing Tablix (left of the current image) and move the chart inside that cell. I would remove both axes, Titles etc so you just get a single bar in each cell.
Then I would insert another column into the existing Tablix (left of the chart) and pic the category label which you have blurred out in your image above.
Finally I would add footer rows to show an image for the X axis scale, and the X Axis title.
This seems more of a SuperUser thing but I didn't see any Report Builder or SSRS tags there. Move if it's in the wrong place, please!
When I create a report in Report Builder 2, I often have charts on top and then a table underneath. The problem I encounter is that some charts get shoved over to the right, seemingly due to the table width. I'll have a few charts snuggly against each other, as I designed them, then the rest in the same row will get pushed over to align with the right side of the table beneath them, leaving a big gap between the charts on the left and the charts on the right.
How can I "disconnect" the table from the charts such that the charts don't care where the table ends, and they just stay pressed against each other with no gaps between them?
It's like this:
[chart][chart] [chart][chart]
[table-----------------]
And I want this:
[chart][chart][chart][chart]
[table-----------------]
I discovered kind of a "cheap" way of fixing this. Just add an extra column to the table and stretch it such that it takes up the remaining width of the charts above. Make the column's background and border colors white or transparent so that it isn't visible.
[chart][chart][chart][chart]
[table----hidden column----]
