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.]

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.

I have SSRS 2016 and I want to implement sunburst chart with possibility to drillthrough existing rings.
Basically I'm staring with 2 levels chart.
- for Series properties I set Go to Report action
- it does jump to inner report but only from outer ring
- no active cursor in inner ring appears - tooltip is shown only
Is there a possibility to achieve active cursor in inner ring(s)?
Another question is there some workaround to mimic a fisheye in the center of the sunburst chart, e.g. to go back to the parent report?
I tried to put a text box with action expression within, but it does not allow to overlay it with the chart.
I think your best bet is to add a new Chart Title to the chart and use the Custom Position properties to put it in the center of your sunburst.
Set the Custom Position's Enabled property to TRUE. Then use the Height and Width properties to adjust the size of the Title and the Left and Top to position it.
You could also use a Background Image on the Title to use instead of text.
The Chart Title will let you have an ACTION so you can create the link to go back to the main report.
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.
I'm working in SSRS 2008 range bar. I need to plot the series label out side of the graph like the below fig.
But when i try to plot the label out side of the bar it is displayed left side of the graph. Please help any one
Thanks in advance
My series property window is look like.
The first step is to click on the Chart Series.
Image 1:
In the properties windwos, you should be able to see the properties of Chart Series.
Scroll down to CustomAttributes and then go to LabelStyle Property.
From here you can choose the style that suits your requiremnts.
Hope this help.
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.
I'm using Report Builder 3.0 and trying to figure out if i can break out one datafield with the few values I need for my bar chart. The data looks like this;
[[44278,47411],[{"name":"$41,000/year goal","y":41000}],["",""]]
I want bar 1 to be the 44,278 value, bar 2 to be the 47,411 value and the 41000 to be embedded as a goal. I've attached a screenshot of how we have it working with other grid and charting products, but this is going to be embedded in a much more in-depth SSRS report. Any sort of help would be great as i'm new to the whole SSRS reporting system.
You can do this with a custom StripLine:
Right-click the vertical chart axis and click Vertical Axis Properties.
The axis properties are displayed in the Properties window.
In the Appearance section of the Properties pane, for the StripLines property, click the Edit Collection (…) button to open the ChartStripLine Collection Editor.
Click Add to add a new strip line to the collection.
Click StripWidth to specify the width of the strip line. If your goals will fluctuate, you might want to make it relative to your Goal e.g. =Fields!YourGoalField.Value/100
Set the StripWidthType property to Number.
Set the InvervalOffset value to =Fields!YourGoalField.Value.
Set the IntervalOffsetType value to Number.
More on StripeLines: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd239316.aspx
EDIT To get the Goal Label outside the Chart Area as depicted, we have to do a sort of hack:
Delete the StripLine Title as there is no way to get that outside the Chart Area.
Right Click the Chart and select Add New Title.
On your new Chart Title's Properties Pane
Set the Docking Position to Right Center.
Set the TextOrientation to Horizontal.
Adjust the Font style and color to match your spec.
Set the Caption Expression to =Format(Fields!YourGoal.Value,"$0,000") & "/year goal"
Here is where the hack comes in. In order to get the Goal label to line up with the Goal Line, you need to add a certain number of carriage return/line feeds to your Caption Expression. To do this, append & vbcrlf to the Caption Expression a bunch of times and keep testing until it lines up. You might also want to adjust the DockingOffset property to move the Label closer to the Chart Area.
