With SSRS 3.0 I have found that several of the charting property attributes are expressed as percentages relative to the space allowed. Specifically, with 'inside' pie chart data labels, it appears that the labels are auto-positioned 50% between the center of the circle and the edge. Is there any way to move these data labels outward to, say, 75%? The chart series.label.position property will accept an expression but any ideas of the syntax? Is what I'm driving at even possible?
Not sure if it is possible to specify where they go inside of the chart. I would suggest moving them to the outside: SSRS BIDS 2008 R2 pie chart data labels overlapping

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 have a pie chart and I don't want to display percentages, but the whole number value from the source.
I want the chart to display the actual numbers, and not a percentage, how can I do this?
This is quite easy to achieve, just follow these simple steps:
On the design surface, right-click on the pie and select Show Data
Labels. The data labels should appear within each slice on the pie
chart.
On the design surface, right-click on the labels and select Series
Label Properties. The Series Label Properties dialog box appears.
In the Series Label Properties, in the General tab. You must enter the Label data you wish to be displayed. This can be done by
clicking the Expression button (fx) and defining
which column's data you wish to display.
For example: =Sum(Fields!MyColumn.Value)
If you have any trouble, feel free to respond and perhaps add some more information about your DataSource.
can horizontal striplines on a column chart render on top of the data? My chart is rendering like this;
but I want the stripLine to be visible over the top of the data columns not below it. I am able to put the dataPoint text that you can see on top, even though i'd rather it be able to render to the right of the bar, but that doesn't seem to be possible either. any help would be great. Seems like some of these things would be pretty straight forward functionality for such a dynamic report builder but im also a layman.
Striplines are always in the background.
I would add a new Series to the Chart, and change the Chart Type to Line. For the value I would point at a Goal column in the datasource. If none is available you can use an expression or hard-code the value.
The sequence of the series controls which is infront of the other. You can drag the series around to reorder them.
My suggestion would be to increase the transparency of the color of the columns. click on chart, click on custom palette color in Properties on the right hand-side and specify level of transparency in the color's options.
P.S. I had the same issue and that's how I solved it.
Contrary to what I am reading here, it is possible to have the stripe lines on the front as well. However, you will need to create another Series specify the top and bottom value dynamically, and adjust the PointWidth to lets say 0.8 or something along those lines.
Alternatively, you can add in a bar graph with a line graph, that should do it as well.
I am using SQL Server 2012

I have made a report with a pie chart. I want the series data labels outside the chart as you see in the images below. However the label value ClassificationMemberName is getting cut off at the top and bottom when I run the report.
As you see below for example, International Funds is getting trimmed at the top and bottom as are several of the other labels. You can't see the entire letter.
In design mode I see no way to resize the series labels through the GUI. I experimented extensively with various properties settings, but could not find a way to work around this problem including altering the font size.
The report has a parent and a subreport. The chart is in the subreport. If it's helpful here are the rdls

Thank you for your help.
I figured this out. The software vendor had placed custom code in the series label properties that was actually sizing the text based on the corresponding pie chart size. So the bigger the pie slice, the more the label was being cut off. I removed this code in the expression editor and used a static value for the property of the pie slices (classificationmembername) and now the text is not being cut off.
I am using report builder 3.0. I created a column chart. I want to place words(Requirements <= 700ms) on top of the chart defining a dashed line that I placed on the chart. I added a textbox, tried to set all the right values to display it on top of the chart but it gets put below the chart. I tried creating a list, dropping the textbox into the list, still displays the word below the chart and not on top of the chart. Does anyone know how to do this?
Placing textboxes over charts can produce unpredictable behavior.
What you might be able to do is create multiple titles and manually position them using the Custom Position property.
It's a pain, but it's much more organized than trying to manually place textboxes.
