I am trying to display data on top of image and can't use watermark/background image for the scenario. In crystal we can use data on top of image and set the property for image gobackward and for data fields cometofront, so that it will display the image and data together. But in SSRS the data is displaying below the image. Please help me to display the data on top of image, and I have multiple images to the displayed in a single report with data.
Right click on the cell that you want an image in. Then Click properties. Then click fill. Then change image source to 'embedded'. Then import your image.

Some days ago I had to modify a SSRS Report in order to add another group. That Report contains a Chart which before this change was properly shown, but now, In the Web Report Viewer It looks ok.
But when exporting to Excel (xls), The Chart looks like to be compacted:
And the user has to expand at least the groups that are aligned with the chart in order to see It well.
I tried to create a Subreport with only the chart embedded, also tried to put the chart inside a rectangle but none of those solutions worked.
In Excel there is a property for the images to indicate not moving nor sizing with cells and It does the trick but I cannot see the property in the Chart stuff.
Do you know how to have the graph displayed properly without having to expand the groups?
I'm working with SSRS 2008 R2.
Just put a rectangle on your report then cut the chart, click in the rectangle and paste it in. That will stop it trying to align with the table.
It's important that you don't just drag the chart onto the rectangle. You must cut and paste it in.
I get images from TFS client in the following format :

I added an image control to a table cell and set the image source as External and value as

However, it just shows a red cross.
I tried this on a WPF application using a image control and it is working fine. How can I set the image value in SSRS report?
In Reporting Services I'm trying to place a table over a picture. Within the Report Builder it works, but whenever the report is run, the table is moved to beneath the picture. I've thought about several workarounds, but none of them has worked:
Creating a rectangle with my picture as the background, and placing the table of top of the rectangle. This works, but it doesn't show the picture in the Excel sheet when exporting the report. I need the picture in the report, so this solution is not satisfactory.
Creating a report where the background image is set to the picture I need, and then importing it in my main report as a subreport. The weird thing here is that background images WILL show up in Excel when you just export the report with the background image. However, when importing that report within another report, it doesn't show up anymore in the export.
Set the picture as background for the main report. the problem is that the picture will be the background for every page/sheet. If someone nows a possibility to set a specific background per page, I would also be helped!
TL;DR: Is it possible the overlay a table of top of a picture? Or is it possible to set a background image per page, so I can use that instead?
You can overlap text and an image but it may not show up that way depending on how you want to render it. I think it works with PDFs and DOCs but not much else.
You can use a background image for the report or just the table's background.
Click on either the Body or the table and use the Background Image properties.
Put an Expression in the Background Image Value field with your logic to determine which image to display.

I have images in a database that I want to display in an SSRS report. For this I have used a matrix and in this I have inserted an Image item.
Because the source image sizes are different, the images on the SSRS report are not in same size and format. I have tried the "fit to size" and "fit proportional" options to resize the images but nothing is working.
Could anyone suggest what I can do to display the images the same size in the report?
I would use a picture editor like Paint to get the images to about the same size.
Set the picture's cell size using the larger pictur and set the Sizing to CLIP so that it always show the full image without auto-sizing them. Then change the picture to use your image field.
I'd make a subreport that accepts parameters used to load your image such as a filename or for the case of images held in a database structure, the primary key.
Now resize the subreport to the size that you want and the image will be resized.
The issue I have with this method is that the images aren't resized properly, so the report runs out of memory after about 8 pages of high resolution images
I want to show an image on my report if that image exists in the database for the person record displaying on the report. However, if that person record does not have an image, I want to display an embedded image in the exact location where the database image would be. When I put them on top of each other and toggle the visibility based on an expression, SSRS seems to be "holding" the space for the image which is hidden. For example, if the embedded image is on top of the database image on the report and the embedded image is set to hidden SSRS will show a blank space to the right of the visible image.
I have tried to put the images in a table and toggle the columns without luck and played around with the image settings (AutoFit, Clip, etc). It does not look like we can use an expression because they are of different types (embedded vs. database). Is there any way to do this beyond putting the embedded image in the database?
The way we got this to work is to create a Tablix and then toggle the column visibility. It is interesting that the Tablix works differently than a Table, but it does.
We found this which discusses the issue:

Put a rectangle object in the cell of the table so that you can have free form placement of the image item. Add a default embedded image into your rdl, call it defaultImage. Since the data type from the database will be a byte[], in order for you to check if the database field value is null, your visibility expression on the default embedded image will be:
=Not(IsNothing(Fields!{FieldName}.Value))
Now that your default image will hide when there is a field value from the database. Place a new image object on top of the default image, same size. This image will use the database field value directly, no suppression needed. When the byte[] is empty the database image will not show, and the embedded (default image) will show.
