I need to add multiple trend lines to this chart. See below.

This what I have currently. In this sample, there should be a Blue trend line and a Gold trend line. I cannot find any way to do this without removing the x-axis grouping. If I do that, then add a calculated series it averages the values as expected. I can then add the horizontal grouping back. However, that is only 1 trend line averaging ALL values. I need to to look only at one group.

This is what I would want it to look like.
In Reporting Service, you can combine column chart and line chart.

Good day all,
Please am trying to create a SSRS report that looks like the image below
i have my table structure in this manner
Please note the data are not in relation with the chart
But all i could get as a result is a multiple bar chart. that resembles the image below.
Thanks in anticipations of your response
First of all, your "Balance on COC" is negative. That's probably not just a chart visualization issue.
You can format the numbers on the y-axis to be more readable like they are in your first screenshot. Click on the Chart Axis and set the LabelsFormat property to #,0;(#,0).
While numbers in the chart can have up to 16 digits, that is highly unreadable for most people. You might want to consider visualizing the numbers in Billions instead.
To get the labels on the x-axis you'll need to set that field as the Category Group. Then you can delete the legend area from the chart. You can also remove the "Axis Title" areas since they are not needed in this case. This will all make it look more polished like the other image.
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 need to make a line chart with the month on horizontal axis and a value on the vertical axis.
I need to colour the line's segments in green if the trend based on the previous month is growing, or in red if the trend is decreasing.
I can't find a way to compare the values grouped by month, and I prefer not to perform this by adding another query from db.
Right-click on the Chart Series (the line of the graph) and select Series Properties..., click Fill on the left then click the fx button to enter and expression for the fill. Let's say your field is called Sales. Use the following expression for the Fill:
=IIF(Fields!Sales.Value >= Previous(Fields!Sales.Value), "Green", "Red")
This worked on my simple test. You may need to aggregate within your query (group by month and sum) for this to work properly.
I have created a line chart which has the date as X-axis and Y-axis as calculated median value and its grouped according to "FileName". Problem is that some of the "FileName" has same median values which makes line overlap thus not able to see all the lines. Attached image shows only 5 lines but there are total 10 lines. After running query I found out other 5 has 50 as the median which makes it overlap with one of the line.
I tried using transparency and secondary axis but wasn't able to achieve the desired result. Is there any other solution to try out ? Thanks!
This is more of a data presentation issue than something specific to SSRS. If you are stuck on using a line chart, then I've only used two options:
1) Increment lines to different widths. For example, in a chart with 3 lines, the width is set to 5,3,1 pts.
2) Change the values insignificantly to offset the lines. Obviously this depends on the data being visualized as shifting the line slight (multiply by 0.1) may be allowable or highly discouraged depending on your situation.
Trying to do either option with 10 lines (and up to 5+ stacking) is not going to be very good.
I think Viking is right and you might want to check out other visualization options. Grouped column charts perhaps or just split your chart into multiple charts on the page (i.e. four separate trend charts)
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.
