I have 3 series in a bar chart made in Report Builder 3. For example: column 1 Pitch Nights sold 10, Capacity 50, Occupancy 20% and I have 5 lots of results based on years.
When I run the report the bars in the chart are right next to each other (touching), but I want to space them out so it looks neater.
There are limited options here but you might get what you want. From the view ribbon enable Properties. Then select your Chart Series. The property to experiment with is CustomAttributes / PointWidth.

I have the following chart in my report that utilizes a date category group and 2 values, runs and average runtime. However the runtime series do not align with the bar chart in certain areas such as on 3/5/22 the 0 is not aligned with the 3, 3/19/22 the 8.4 is not aligned with the 7, and 3/27/22 the 42 is not aligned with the 23. Also seeking general advice on how to improve the look of this chart.
I have a stacked bar chart, with year on the x axis, and sales CY and sales LY on the y axis, also the bars are grouped (stacked) by company name, like in the picture below:
bar chart stacked example
The problem is I want to match the colors for the same companies, like: "united package CY" and "united package LY" have the same color for both, so will be easier to see the comparison between companies and years.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks!
Yes you can, click on your chart and go to the chart properties on the right side under:
Chart > CustomPaletteColors.
Here you can add your defined chart colurs for each series. For example if you have 4 series you have 4 different colors. You can set the color for series1 the same as series2.
Depending on which positions your series are, they will look like one section or they will have another color between them. But you can reorder the position of the series if you need to.
I have a line chart that is showing a series for the stack area. I have nulls for my data for a few months in a row which shows a gap in the chart which what I want a cliff. But when the chart resumes with non null data the chart starts from 0 and shoots up to the number lets say 98 in this case. How or which properties do I need to adjust in the chart that when I resume I can start off at 98 instead of 0 and climbing up to 98.
Rather than using a Stacked Area chart you could use a Stacked Column chart. For the data series you wish to be visible view the properties of the series, and under CustomAttributes set PointWidth to be 1.1.
When rendered this will then look like as below
I want to show in one chart report two series of data, one as a horizontal bar and one as a line. When I select for the second series a line chart type, it changes also the chart type for the first series which was set to bars.
This works if I'm using vertical columns for the first series, but it seems it is not working the same with horizontal bars.
Is there any way around this?
No. You cannot create a chart with horizontal bars and lines.
SSRS doesnt allow it.
It is not logical to join two concepts which is transpose of each
other. It is like showing vertical bar chart and horizontal bar chart
in the same graph.
Line charts are used to show overall trends and
patterns over time(usually) or some other series. Bar charts are good
for comparing unordered/nominal items.
You need to reevaluate your decision to show these two together.
I am using SQL Server 2012. SSRS
I have a stacked bar charts that includes interest and dividends. I would like to add the sum of these values to the area just above the stacked bar chart. I have tried adjusting various properties for the labels but I can't get the label position to be anywhere but the middle of the stacked bar chart. Any ideas how to get these labels to be just above the stacked bar charts?
I tried the solutions mentioned here and found them cumbersome compared to this gem: http://peltiertech.com/label-totals-on-stacked-charts/
Add a "total" to your dataset (in my case, a percentage)
Add the total series to your stacked bar chart
Change the total series chart type to a line
Hide the line and line markers by setting their fill color to none
Set the Total series to not show in the legend
Set the data point position for your total series to "Top"
Here is my result:
There is not a way to do this with settings.
Here are a couple of links that give you step by step instructions:
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/65/posts/11575/display-total-on-top-of-stacked-chart.aspx

Basically, the workaround is to create another series or category in your chart that is the totals (which requires updating your dataset to include the totals), make it transparent, and turn data labels on. The MSDN answer says to make it a line chart while the Beyond Relational article leaves it as part of the stacked bar. Either way will work.
