SSRS - Replace the Chart - sql-server-2008

I have a question, want some assistance.
Q) My question is that i have a chart in which analyst assigned for many incidents and some analyst have 1 or two incident assigned. just because of this the bar chart looks ugly some time. So thats why i used a new chart to represent Min incident count. But i want there some creativeness, for which i want there a radio button or OnClick event ( I do not know how to use both these. When report runs by default it`ll show Max incidents count chart and when we used radio button it will show Min incidents count chart, on the same chart area no need of new area or on new page.
Kindly help me or refer me some links and with ideas. As i have searched many blogs but i didn`t get any big achievement.
Below is my Simplified query;
SELECT
Count(IncidentDimvw.Id)
,UserDimvw.FirstName AS Analyst
FROM
IncidentDimvw
FULL JOIN WorkItemDimvw
ON IncidentDimvw.EntityDimKey = WorkItemDimvw.EntityDimKey
JOIN WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw
ON WorkItemDimvw.WorkItemDimKey = WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.WorkItemDimKey
JOIN UserDimvw
ON WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.WorkItemAssignedToUser_UserDimKey = UserDimvw.UserDimKey
WHERE
WorkItemAssignedToUserFactvw.DeletedDate IS NULL
GROUP BY
UserDimvw.FirstName
Having (Count(IncidentDimvw.Id) = (#Count))
Having Clause is right or wrong, i donot know.
I used the following expresion in series as you suggested.
=iif(Parameters!Count.Value, Max(Sum(Fields!ID.Value)), Min(Sum(Fields!ID.Value)))
Sample data is as folows;

I can think of a couple of ways to approach this:
Dynamic expressions based on parameter
Say you have a simple DataSet like:
And also a boolean parameter called showMax.
We can create a simple bar graph based on this:
The most important thing to note is that Series value is expression-based:
In the above example the expression is:
=IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value
, Max(Fields!value.Value)
, Min(Fields!value.Value))
i.e. when showMax is true, report the Max values, otherwise report the min values.
In this case I've also updated the Axis title, Chart title, and Custom legend text to be expression-based:
Axis Title: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max", "Min")
Chart Title: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max per group", "Min per group")
Custom legend text: =IIf(Parameters!showMax.Value, "Max value", "Min value")
The chart behaviour changes based on what parameter is selected as required:
Set Visibility based on parameter
Another option is simply to have to charts and hide one depending on parameter selection.
For example, for the Max chart the Hidden property can be set to:
=Not(Parameters!showMax.Value)
Setting this property correctly for each report will mean only one is ever displayed to the user, i.e. it will look dynamic.
Either of these options should work; the first keeps the layout simple in the designer makes the chart more complex, the second makes the layout more complex but keeps the charts simple.
Hopefully one option will work for you.

SSRS - Multiple font or color within a chart item

I'm using Report Builder 3.0. Long story short, I want to make the font bold for the text in the red box that you see in the image below:
Basically, it's just one expression in the legend field of my value, however, for clarity's sake (for my end users) I wish to make the "title part" bold. I found the following solution for textboxes in a tablix using Html by checking off the "HTML – Interpret HTML tags as styles." checkbox within the Textbox's properties. (http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2010/10/31/using-different-formats-within-a-single-textbox-in-ssrs.html)
However, I can't find anything similar for graphs! I mean if MS thought about it for tables, I presume they must've given it some thought for a chart setting too.
Thanks to all!
p.s. As an aesthetic solution to my problem, I did think of simply creating a new title field, moving it to the exact same location and formating it. But I'm surious whether there'd be some more "proper" way of doing this.
I'm using the same approach for one of my charts.
STEPS.
Select the Chart series to open property pane. In my case, the chart series name is TWR Chart Series
Select the color property and select to build the expression.
I'm posting one of my expression. You can build your own expression base don your field names etc.
=IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 1 OR Fields!ProductID.Value = 6,"#00425E",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 3 ,"#6B8797",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 5 OR Fields!ProductID.Value = 7,"#799179",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 4 AND Fields!sort.Value=99,"#6bb1be","#48597B"))))
If used sensibly, you should get your desired results.Good luck.

SSRS chart, how to prevent horizontal axis categories displaying when value is 0

I've placed a simple bar chart into an SSRS report which is designed to display a series of Consultant Names (along the x axis), with a corresponding count of patients who are flagged as being in the category ">18 Weeks" (on the y axis), based on the following expression:
=SUM(IIF(Fields!RTTWaitGroup.Value=">18 Weeks",1,0))
The chart renders fine. However, a number of the Consultants listed in the chart have a zero count, and therefore are listed across the x axis but with no vertical bar displayed, as you'd expect.
I'd like to configure the chart so that it only displays those consultants that have a count of 1 or more patients.
I'm not overly familiar with the syntax, but I've tried using the following expression in both the Series Properties and Chart Properties 'Visibility' options, to try and suppress x axis categories that are zero, but it doesn't have any effect on the chart:
=iif(Fields!LastConsultant.Value ="",True,False)
Please can anyone advise on correct syntax and appropriate expression field to enter it?
Presumably your consultant names will be in the category group, if so right mouse click and select category group properties.Select Filters, in the expression enter count(fields!patients.value)... for example. Change type to integer , operator to greater than and the value to 0.

Hide SSRS chart based on multivalue parameter

Good Afternoon,
I have a multivalue parameter where if the last value in the array has the value "Reentry", it should always display the report. However, if the last value in the array is not "Reentry" it should hide the chart because it doesn't apply to the other choice. The choices are Corrections, Reentry and All. I applied the following expression to the visibility option of the target chart.
=IIf((Parameters!Division.Value(Parameters!Division.Count-1)="Reentry"), True, False)
This is showing the report for all cases, even when I select only Corrections which is the value that appears in a textbox where I placed this expression, being the last value in the array.
=Parameters!Division.Value(Parameters!Division.Count-1)
I have tried all kinds of other ways to get this to work and I have been stuck for a day. I think this approach is the easiest but it is always showing the chart, no matter what is selected. Any thoughts? This shouldn't be so difficult...thanks in advance!
Try using this expression:
=IIF(
Array.IndexOf(Parameters!Division.Value,"Reentry")=
Parameters!Division.Count-1,True,False
)
Let me know if this helps.

Only allowing one Drilldown in SSRS

It took me hours of searching and putting together piecemeal parts to find the solution to this, so I figured I'd post it on here in the hopes of helping someone else.
The Problem: We need to display a report, with proper grouping and drilldowns. However, we should only allow one group to be drilled down at one time.
SSRS doesn't exactly have robust scripting options - for instance, you can't close other groups "on click" or anything like that. So how do you do it?
In My example i'm using the AdventureworksDW database. I want to have a dataset that includes the total sales for each group and region. My Stored Procedure looks something like this:
SELECT dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
SUM(fis.SalesAmount) AS SaleTotal,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate) AS OrderYear
FROM [dbo].FactInternetSales AS fis
INNER JOIN [dbo].DimSalesTerritory AS dst
ON fis.SalesTerritoryKey = dst.SalesTerritoryKey
WHERE fis.OrderDate < #QueryEndDate
GROUP BY
dst.SalesTerritoryGroup,
dst.SalesTerritoryRegion,
DATEPART(YEAR,fis.OrderDate)
UNION ALL /*The ResellerSales table. Same info.*/
From there I added a table with two groups: SalesTerritoryRegion and its parent, SalesTerritoryGroup. I also added a column to the left INSIDE the SalesTerritoryGroup, with an X (this can also be an image if you'd like). This is the "Drilldown" button that we'll use.
Create a string parameter, mine was #ExpandedGroup. Set the Default to an empty string (so that all the groups start out collapsed). Right click on the SalesTerritoryRegion group, or whatever your subgroup is, and go to the visibility tab. Click "Show or Hide based on Expression" and enter something like this:
=iif(Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value="" or
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value<>Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,True,False)
This statement means: If we haven't opened a dropdown, or if the dropdown isn't the one selected, set hidden to true. Otherwise, false.
Next click on your "X" column to the left of SalesTerritoryGroup or your supergroup. Right click to go to Textbox Properties. Click the action tab. From there select "Go to Report". When you specify a report, make the target itself (For instance, mine is Main). Then, add parameters to the report.
The most important here is ExpandedGroup. The name should be ExpandedGroup, but the value is not just [ExpandedGroup]. Instead, it's an expression:
=IIF(Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value=Parameters!ExpandedGroup.Value,
"",
Fields!SalesTerritoryGroup.Value)
This expression says: If the Group is the same as the Expanded group, make ExpandedGroup an empty string when you load the report. Otherwise, send the TerritoryGroup value. Essentially, this will let us toggle on and off the drilldown (same as you would in the report if you had traditional drilldowns).
Note: Also be sure to pass other parameters! For instance, my query requires a date to exclude some transaction data. If you don't pass this parameter in the "Go to Report" action, then you'll have to enter it again when you DrillDown. This also means you can give yourself even more flexibility when you click a drilldown (changing a chart that's displayed etc.) which is what I'm doing for this project.
Hope it helps someone out! Of course, if there is a more elegant or simpler solution I'd absolutely love to hear it.

SSRS- charts colour coding

I have SSRS solution for SQL 2005 and 2008.
I am showing output in the form of chart- column chart with each column representing different database.
Is there a way to display each column in different color?
Regards
Manjot
You can use a formula to set the colour of each column, but that would work best if you knew what the individual series values ('databases'?) were going to be.
Right-click on your chart and bring up its properties. Now switch to the Data tab and select the first item in the Values list. Click the Edit... button to show the properties for the values (the columns) in your chart. Over on the Appearance tab there's a Series Style... button which takes you to another dialog.
On this new Style Properties dialog, switch to the Fill tab. That's where you set the colour for each of your columns. This can be a formula, so you might make it something like:
=Switch(
Fields!Database.Value = "master", "Blue",
Fields!Database.Value = "msdb", "Red",
"Green")
If you don't know in advance which 'databases' are going to be represented on the chart, this method won't work very well. In that case you might be able to come up with a formula which hashes the database name and comes up with a colour to match. That sounds like an interesting challenge, so add to your question if you need help doing something like that.
Edit
I just got a hash-based-colour-scheme working. It's a pretty nasty piece of code, but it did manage to get me a unique colour for every (string valued) column. Perhaps someone can come up with a better algorithm and post it here. Here's mine:
="#" & left(Hex(Fields!Database.GetHashCode()), 6)
So that's getting the HashCode for the string (a numeric value) and converting it to hex, then taking the leftmost six characters and prepending it with a "#" sign. That gives us a string that looks like a colour value (eg #AB12F0).
