I have a report with total, max, min, avg, at the bottom of it. For some of the values they need to have a certain number of decimal places, and in some places they are supposed to have no decimal places. Whenever I set the number to "Fixed" and decimal places to "0" it seems to add space to the right of the number within the textbox. All of my fields are right-aligned so this moves them over to the left, in some cases pushing the numbers past the limits of the field.
Is there an easy way to fix this at all? Is this a known bug?
It can be due negative number format. Do you have negative number format configured to be shown after the number ( in control panel)?
For positive numbers, Windows displays a blank space.
Also, you can try to set the Format property to #.##0

If the number has value force it to 0.00 format if it is 0 just display as 0 .
I have tried rounding (shows up as an error) and the text boxes are set to number and it still has a continuous number.
For example:
fields.day12.value = 0 display as 0 BUT if it is fields.day12.value = 12.45555555555 display as 12.45
Unless they are specified, the text boxes' FORMAT property will apply the same format regardless of how many digits are needed or the number is negative or zero.
To use different formatting for negative numbers or zero, the FORMAT property can be used with a custom number format that specifies the negative and zero formats.
+#,##0.0;-#,##0.0;0.0
The first part before the semicolon is for the positive values, the second for negative, and then zero.
For the format required, you could use
0.00;-0.00;0
I have an SSRS report with a bar chart with multiple series by CountryName Category group. What I want to do is have gridlines which split each country like below:
However in SSRS the major gridlines seem to interval with the line in the middle of the country name when the grid interval is set to 1 like below:
Can someone point me in the right direction into how to rectify this?
Also is there a way of adding the X axis in SSRS to start from zero like I have in my first graph?
Thanks
You can do it, there is an offset property on the grid lines (horizontal and vertical are separate). Click one one of the gridlines and look in the properties pane. Change the offset to 0.5.
Gives you this.
I'm not sure what you meant about starting from zero on the X-Axis, you have negative values so you'll start from a negative number. If you meant you wantde zero aligned to the middle. You can do that to. You need to set the min and max values of the horizontal axis to the following
Min Value:
=MAX(ABS(Fields!MyValueField.Value), "MyDataSet")*-1
Max Value will be:
=MAX(ABS(Fields!MyValueField.Value), "MyDataSet")
Basically we take the ABSolute largest value and use that as the extent (*-1 for the min value). The problem is that zero might not show so you'll have to play around with the Axis properties maybe to get that working. I'm sure it's possible but I don't have time to test at the moment.
My test data is not great as the number are large
I have created a line graph to show monthly % data on the y-axis.
Can I format the value shown to show as a %? At the moment I'm seeing figures like 0.9335180054409484 - not much use.
This value is showing from an expression:
=Sum(Fields!Under20minutes.Value / Count(Fields!xno.Value) - which gives me the correct number - it's just I want it formatted as a %.
Any help much appreciated, thanks.
You should be able to just right-click on the series labels in your chart, and click on Series Label Properties. Go to "Number", and change to %, choose decimal places, etc.
EDIT: The chart is fixed when I use a stacked chart instead of a stacked percentage chart, but this still doesn't tell me what is wrong with using the percentage chart.
I have a stacked percentage chart which is going from 0 to 10000% instead of 0 to 100%. It appears as if the values are formatted correctly (they add up to 1.01 due to rounding), and even dividing all the values by 100 in the query does not change it.
This is how the chart renders:
with the following Vertical Axis Properties:
I have a table below (with identical number formatting but with 2 percentage points), however that displays as expected:
Finally, here is the raw data set with an additional sum column not reflected in SSRS:
Has anyone come across this issue before? If I manually set the range of the chart from 0-100% (0-1) I can only see that bottom blue series.
Yep. I've seen exactly this. The numbers that the percent chart axis generates are in the range 0 to 100. But when you apply the number formatting as a percent, then the numbers are multiplied by 100 for display.
The trick to fix/work around this is to set the display format to only add the percent sign, not really format the number as a percent. Happily, this requires just one character:
In the Number format for the axis, switch the Category to "Custom." If you just switched from Percentage, you will see something similar to 0%.
Insert a backslash before the percent symbol: 0\% to indicate that you need a literal percent symbol, not to format the number as a percent (multiplied by 100.)
Voila.
I am having a problem with getting a stacked area chart to display the right data in SSRS 2005.
On my Y axis, I want a scale from 50% to 100%.
On my X axis I have a set of dates formatted in a style that was necessary for the report (so varchar).
My data consists of 3 data fields which are decimal numbers and contained between 0 and 1, each with a specific date.
My problem is the scale of the Y-axis. I have set the maximum value to 100, the minimum to 50, the interval to 5, and the format to "p" for percentages.
On the preview in the layout tab, this all appears fine (Y-axis starting at 50% up to 100%).
However whenever I generate an actual report it goes from 5000% to 10000% for some reason. I have no idea how this is happening and it completely ruins the report.
I have tried tinkering in the properties for several hours but to no avail.
If this has happened to anyone and they have found a solution, or if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.
Thanks.
When you use percentages, everything factors by 100.
If you want to format and display a value as 50% , it needs to be 0.5 unformatted. Percentages are therefore values between 0 and 1.
Excel and pretty much every other tool works that way.
If your values are all stored as percentages already, then you might just want to append the % symbol at the end of your values. Or better, divide everything by 100.
50 per cent means just that anyway; it means 50 per hundred (cent means 100) so 50/100 is another way of writing 50%.
