Okay, I have a report with multiple charts in it. I have tried a few different ways to get these charts to format the legend the same way, but i have failed. My goal is to make the legends have the same color scheme and ordering across the different charts.
Example, my chart show the count of projects in each of the following funding statuses - not funded, funded, and unknown. No matter what I do, the different charts that I am creating, display the different funding statuses in different order with dfferent colors attached to them. I am using one data source for all charts. Also, the first chart includes all data in the set while the other 3 apply different filters to the data.
Thanks for any help!

He basically stores the colors in the database and overrides the palette.

After searching for a week, I finally decided to put my question here. My aim is to create a ssrs chart Y-Axis which contains three different scales like in the following screenshot:
Is this possible? I have a Datasource with different Series Groups, and for each of them I want a different scale in the chart. At the moment it looks like this:
For anyone with the same Struggle, I made it with chart areas. In the series of the chart i made three series for every diffrent value.
I have created a combination chart in excel which I am attempting to replicate within SSRS.
The chart shows three versions of 'success' plus the percentage 'failed'. (Please see image for more detail)
For one of the segments, i.e. success v2, I would like to then break this data down by how long it took to achieve success, as a percentage.
I've attempted changing my chart type a few times within SSRS and exploring the chart 'General Custom Attributes' however I haven't been able to get very far with figuring out how to link two pie/donut charts...your help would be invaluable!
Thanks

Welcome to SO!
This isn't really an answer but a list of things to look at/consider and too long to fit in a comment.
You need to look at the Chart Series properties, in particular the Custom Attributes related to 'Collected...'
This allows you to explode a section but as far as I know it only allows you to use values or a % lower than a specified threshold, not a particular section as you want. This migh work if the section you want to explode out is always the smallest but I guess you cannot guarantee that.
You might be able to get round this by adding another column to your dataset that always shows a high number for 'failure' and 'success x1' and a small number for 'success x2' but i'm not sure if you can define which field to explode on and visualise a different field, otherwise your main pie would look incorrect.
Alternatively you could just show two charts.
Need advice on how to display multiple line charts in one report? Currently charts are stretched out and on each other when viewing the report. Expected outcome:
Not a lot of detail given on what exactly is happening with your report, but I think the solution would be to set up a second column to keep the charts from stretching too far. If you click anywhere outside of the report boundaries, the report properties appear in the properties window. Set Columns to 2, and ColumnSpacing to 0 unless you want to ensure a certain gap between charts.
For more details on how this works, refer to the MSDN page here and here.
This does have limitations, as the columns can only be rendered in PDF and Image formats. You can also refer to this StackOverflow question for more information.
I am trying implement underlay following sections in SSRS. Is there any way to achieve this?
In crystal reports there is underlay following section check box through which we can achieve this. I want to use this feature because in my details section there is one column (unit area) which repeats its data in each row due to which the totals at group footer comes wrong (due to duplicate unit area)
Workaround to get correct totals will also work for me if underlay is not possible. I googled for underlay feature and the only solution I could find was of using Matrix as per below msdn post. Let me know if there are any other possible workarounds or solutions.

This issue has been very frustrating to figure out, but I finally figured out how to mimic Crystal's Underlay Following Sections behavior in SSRS!!! I stumbled across the solution and after finding it I have searched on the method I used and found many articles referencing it, but never equating it to the solution for mimicking Crystal's Underlay property. Here's how I did it.
I had three groups - call them Company, Business, Employee - and details. Traditionally, these groups would be laid out on separate rows like this:
Company
...............Business
..............................Employee
...............................................Details
Using a table, I put the columns all on the same row - the details row - instead of multiple rows.
Company...Business...Employee...Details
Now, this should result in duplicate values for each of the groups for every detail set in my dataset. And if you have this set up and run it, you will see that's exactly what you get. Let's fix it.
Click anywhere on the table to bring up the tablix control region.
Click on the control for the details row; this should highlight the row.
Open up Properties and scroll down to the section called Other and look for a property called HideDuplicates. There should be a drop down list with all your groups.
Select the group that represents the parent group, in my case it was Company.
This property basically hides all of the group duplicates providing you with the Underlay look you are looking for. All you have to do is save and preview!
I used this method on other reports that I wanted one of the groups, say the Company group, to be on a line all by itself. No problem, just remember that as far as the details row is concerned, the Business group is now the parent.
Hope this helps
It's been a couple of years since I've done reporting. I have an existing chart with some data/columns, and i want to overlay two other lines along the chart to show a score, and a guess. Here is a picture of what i want, need to add the blue and red lines. This might be really simple in SSRS and VS2008, but I am just getting back into it, and not finding anything in the forums.
I have the data there in the queries, so i just need to know how to put it on the chart/axis/whatever.
