How to resolve Legends formatting Issue in SSRS pie Chart - reporting-services

I am using SSRS reporting. I have designed a report which contains some Pie Chart.
All the things working fine. There is some issue around the Legends alignment and font family .
If you see attached image. You will see the 1st Pie charts legends are different than 2nd pie Chart's Legends.
I have set same properties for both pie Chart's Legends.
Can any body suggest the solutions regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance

Try to give same size to both the pie charts, if layout of Lengends is not matching and check if this resolves your problem.
Try to give same size to the chart area of both the charts (Select Chart Area, F4, in the properties window look for Custome Position, Set Enabled to TRUE, give Height, Width, Left, Right ). Check if this gives same size to your chart area.
If you are trying to have same legend text value, then try this,
Right click on Series (in char data box) ---> Series Properties --> Legend -- > Custome Legen Text .. Here you give the text you want to see in your Legend.
Try the three possibilities, hope any one of the three resolves your problem.

How to fix pie charts size in SSRS

I have 4 charts created in SSRS 2017 and I need them to be the same size.
Are there any settings (and where? in SSRS) to make size all the same for all of my 4 charts?
When I go into Chart Area properties, there is nothing about the chart size...
Please help!
Update:
When I clicking on the Chart Area slightly outside the actual chart I see the following Chart Properties:
You can control the position of the chart area and the plot position of the pie within the area by setting the CustomPosition and CustomInnerPlotPosition properties. Select the chart area first to see these properties.
Please note: You must select the CHART AREA object in the designer not the chart Just click slightly outside the pie to select the correct area then you will see these properties.
You can do the same for the legend too if required so you can get full control over the final rendered size.
It does take a bit of trial and error to get a layout that suits all your needs but it can be done.
You cant directly influence the size of the chart, like Hannover Fist said it depends on multiple conditions (for example the legend). What you can do is to put the legend on top or on bottom of the chart (the reason for the different sizes of your charts it that the legend text from right to left is different, thus it uses the space from the visual). This way the size of the chart should be more or less the same size. Right click on your legend Legend properties > General > Legend position. With the MaxAutoSize property from the legend you can a little bit control the size of your legend.
To your second question. No, a chart (also tablix and matrix) can only have one Dataset as source. You can see this in the chart properties at the drop down list. You just can chose one element. But you can create one big dataset with all the data for the different charts. Then assign this dataset to one chart and copy it. And then you set different filters to the charts.
For me the above didn't help. The varying sizes of pie charts related to the fact that some had been set to have their series value > label > position = outside and others were position = auto. All pie charts had their labels hidden so you coudln't see them at all but SSRS was allowing space for them when set to position = outside. This made it extremely frustrating to chase down where the difference in size was coming from. Hope this may help someone who comes across a similar issue.

SSRS horizontal range bar with outside label

The first step is to click on the Chart Series.

In the properties windwos, you should be able to see the properties of Chart Series.

Overlapping Labels in Pie-Chart

Are there any Settings to avoid having overlapping labels in a Pie Chart in SSRS?
I have several Charts with the same Problem, if the Slices are too small the Text will overlap. Here is a Picture of my Problem and a possible way as how i want it to be:
EDIT
edited the 3D Options so the Labels fit in like I wanted them to be. But another Problem occurred when setting rotation and inclination to zero, the colors aren't as intensive as they where before:
You can try this..
1)On the design surface, right-click outside the pie chart but inside the chart borders and select Chart Area Properties.The Chart Area Properties dialog box appears.
2)On the 3D Options tab, select Enable 3D.
3)If you want the chart to have more room for labels but still appear two-dimensional, set the Rotation and Inclination properties to 0.
to solve this:
go to the Chart Area Properties,
the Chart Area Properties dialog box appears.
expand Area3DStlye
For Shading Property select: "Simple"
This is most likely caused by an emulation of a diffuse lighting effect. The following code worked in the former dundas chart for area charts:
Chart1.ChartAreas("Default").Area3DStyle.Light = LightStyle.None;
should be something similar for the pies.
[Note: The first 3 parts of this is the same text as answered by Swathi, but there was a follow-up comment question that was not known that I discovered the answer to concerning the colors looking muted after making it 3-D. I would add a comment but I don't have enough karma now.]
1)On the design surface, right-click outside the pie chart but inside the chart borders and select Chart Area Properties.The Chart Area Properties dialog box appears.
2)On the 3D Options tab, select Enable 3D.
3)If you want the chart to have more room for labels but still appear two-dimensional, set the Rotation and Inclination properties to 0.
4) If you want the colors to not be muted when using 3-D to simulate 2-D, under Appearance/Area3DStyle change the Shading to None.

SSRS stacked bar chart label position

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:
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/65/posts/11575/display-total-on-top-of-stacked-chart.aspx
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/654f30c2-ad3a-4b4e-a34f-adf4db6b78d2/stacked-column-chart-total?forum=sqlreportingservices
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.

SQL Reporting: percent on repartition graphs?

I've to create a graphic with some percent information:
The percentage can be either IN the graphic, outside of the of the pie chart(but it has to be near the corresponding part).
I didn't found how to do this in the report builder 3.0, do you know how I can achieve this?
Actually I've numbers(e.g. 3300, 3000, 400, I can certainly transform them in percent if needed).
Thank you!
After you create your pie chart, right-click on any of the pie slices in Design mode and select Show Data Labels. You will see sample values display on your chart. Right-click one of the labels and select Series Labels Properties - you can then set font, color, formatting, etc. The default is to display inside the pie slice. If you need to control position, select one of the sample values and then see the Position property in the Properties window to adjust.
