I have a line chart that is showing a series for the stack area. I have nulls for my data for a few months in a row which shows a gap in the chart which what I want a cliff. But when the chart resumes with non null data the chart starts from 0 and shoots up to the number lets say 98 in this case. How or which properties do I need to adjust in the chart that when I resume I can start off at 98 instead of 0 and climbing up to 98.
Rather than using a Stacked Area chart you could use a Stacked Column chart. For the data series you wish to be visible view the properties of the series, and under CustomAttributes set PointWidth to be 1.1.
When rendered this will then look like as below

I've got a chart in SSRS where I have both line and column values.
Is there any way the line can extend out to the extreme left and right of the corresponding column for the month?
The Green line is the target and the orange columns are the Utilisation figures for the months
I've tried Strip Lines but creating the IIF expressions to capture the filtering is too much pain and you can't get varying results by Month.
You could try to stick your line on the secondary X axis and then play with the settings of that axis. Once you get the settings like you want them you can hide the secondary X axis from the chart area.
I'm trying to create a report with a bar graph like the one shown. I would like the space between the labels 31 and 38 represent the space between the numbers 31 and 38.
In other words, I need the places where there are arrows to have more space (or labels with zero data).
Is there some way to do this?
You will need to return all x-axis values that you want to display but have a null when there is no value. The chart should still plot the x-axis points with no bar.
I want to show in one chart report two series of data, one as a horizontal bar and one as a line. When I select for the second series a line chart type, it changes also the chart type for the first series which was set to bars.
This works if I'm using vertical columns for the first series, but it seems it is not working the same with horizontal bars.
Is there any way around this?
No. You cannot create a chart with horizontal bars and lines.
SSRS doesnt allow it.
It is not logical to join two concepts which is transpose of each
other. It is like showing vertical bar chart and horizontal bar chart
in the same graph.
Line charts are used to show overall trends and
patterns over time(usually) or some other series. Bar charts are good
for comparing unordered/nominal items.
You need to reevaluate your decision to show these two together.
I am using SQL Server 2012. SSRS
I have a stacked bar charts that includes interest and dividends. I would like to add the sum of these values to the area just above the stacked bar chart. I have tried adjusting various properties for the labels but I can't get the label position to be anywhere but the middle of the stacked bar chart. Any ideas how to get these labels to be just above the stacked bar charts?
I tried the solutions mentioned here and found them cumbersome compared to this gem: http://peltiertech.com/label-totals-on-stacked-charts/
Add a "total" to your dataset (in my case, a percentage)
Add the total series to your stacked bar chart
Change the total series chart type to a line
Hide the line and line markers by setting their fill color to none
Set the Total series to not show in the legend
Set the data point position for your total series to "Top"
Here is my result:
There is not a way to do this with settings.
Here are a couple of links that give you step by step instructions:

Basically, the workaround is to create another series or category in your chart that is the totals (which requires updating your dataset to include the totals), make it transparent, and turn data labels on. The MSDN answer says to make it a line chart while the Beyond Relational article leaves it as part of the stacked bar. Either way will work.
The report user wants to have groups by business unit and within each group they want to chart a set of same 4 metrics one under another: metric1, metric2... metric4. Under each of the merticN chart they want a matrix showing metricN values in rows where the months are the columns (metricN is actually 3 metrics: current month's, YTD and previous YE which is the same for every month).
Question: I know that it is possible to use list, bound to a group, to show charts by groups. Is it possible to insert a matrix for the same group under the chart (not to the right of it)?
I tried inserting nested rectangles, but a matrix inside a nested rectangle can no longer be bound to the same dataset, needless to say to the group (dataset is disabled).
As a proof of concept I can build a matrix with a chart inside the proper group, which does not solve the task of putting charts above the data. The charts, even so small, look fine in design, but in preview mode SSRS plays some dirty tricks. The resulting chart (occupying 100% of the group box and leving no space for group title, of course) is very ugly - horrible combination of scaling (why?!) and being squeezed into a small area. It looks like SSRS is going mad when a chart is in a confined space. The charts are stretched vertically and horizontally, the lines are thick and fuzzy. Only those charts, that end up in a partial group at the end of the page, look OK from graphical POV.
The most scandalous part is that even though data is correctly groupped by the matrix and reflected in the axis auto-scaling ticks and legends, it is not plotted. The charts remain empty. There must be some 'advanced option' hidden somewhere that is necessary for the charts to work within a matrix, or it is simply bugged.
Edit:
The best I've done so far was adding a Total row above a group and inserting a chart into that cell. It is somewhat closer to the requirement with several drawbacks:
The chart is only above the group name, not above whole matrix
Due to p.1 the chart cannot be made large enough
The matrix's column headers are separated from matrix data by the area
height of the chart
However the chart is still not plotting data. Playing with Category/Series Groups 'Synchronize group in' property is not helping.
To have a chart per group and group data in a matrix one on top of another, one should create a list and insert the required row groups with header rows. Then make group columns except the innermost hidden, delete the detail row and insert both chart and matrix into the innermost child group.
Then put the group fields into the group header cells.
This way the group titles appear at the beginning, then the chart, then the matrix and the last two are repeated in every child group.
