How can I sort a horizontal bar chart by value, but per hierarchy?
I need sort each group by value. If I sort by value, spotfire mix the groups.
thanks in advance!

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.
Friends,
I am using Tablix Control in RDLC to generate matrix report. In the last column of my matrix (group) report I have defined a formula using expression Now my user want to sort this column by ascending or descending.
(Criteria will be sent to report via Report Parameter).
I found sorting under Row Group - > Group Properties -> Sorting.....
But I am not sure how to do sorting on column which is calculated based on formula.
How can I do that? Can any one tell?
New answer:
If you do not need to use a parameter for triggering this sorting, then Interactive Sorting would accomplish exactly what you are looking for. Right click on the header of the column in question and you should see Interactive Sorting.
If it needs to be a parameter for whatever reason, then it would depend on the data type. If it is some kind of numeric type, then you could have the parameter value be either 1 (ascending) or -1 (descending). You would then sort on the parameter multiplied by the expression for that column.
I have two category groups defining my x-axis. One for the version number and one for the date that a test ran. Currently it displays both and is ordered by the date. I don't want the current ordering to change, but I DO want to hide the dates and just display the version numbers on the x-axis. How do I go about doing that? I'm not finding much help regarding the "HideAxis" custom expression.
I was going about this the wrong way. The simple solution was to do the following:
select the drop down menu from the version datapoint under the category groups section of the Chart Data interface.
From there you can select sorting, and then select any data point you want from the Sort By drop down.
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.
I'm trying to make a VERY simple graph with the chart control in SSRS 2008 and, of course, Microsoft wants to make things as difficult as possible. The x-axis contains stations on an assembly line and the y-axis contains some numerical value that is irrelevant to the issue. I'm returning a dataset with the scanning stations in the order that they exist on the assembly line. However, when I bind the dataset to a chart control the stations are put in alphabetical order! I don't want the categories on the x-axis to be in alphabetical order. I want them to display in the order that they are returned in the dataset. I suppose I could number the stations in the order that I want but I would rather not do that. Thanks in advance.
When you add a Category Group to a chart, the Chart control adds a Sort criterion by default.
To remove this behavior, you can right-click on the Category Group, go to Sorting tab, and delete the entry there. Preview the report again and the stations should be in the order you want.
Hope this helps.
