Reporting Services Chart Legend Label

I am creating a chart from analysis services cube data
data is like this
District            Year          Value
A                    2001          10
B                    2002          29
(null)              2003           19
The charts are creating fine but the legends are not showing fine. In series group i have also tried to use an expression to fix the null label.
For null value the label is created as "Series 1". I don't want this to happen. for null value i want my chart legend to show as "State"
Any help will be appriciated
Regards

Hi,
You can use expression to achieve that. In series group, set the group on expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Also, set the label expression to be:
=iif(Fields!<District>.Value is nothing, “State”, Fields!<District>.Value)
Hope this helps.

Chart Legend Labels

Hi all,
It's extremely annoying to have to go thru all chart legend label displays and rename them to something else other than the formula.
For example, I have a Sum of @Formula that's displaying and in order to change that, I have to go into every single chart and right click > edit label
Is there a more round about way to do this update once?
Thanks,

yes that's annoying. try this if you are willing to try a workaround...
1) put a crosstab on top of the legend that contains your formula as the row.
2) while still in the crosstab expert, get rid of the gridlines, the cell padding
3) exit the crosstab expert and change the row height to match the line height of the legend
4) change the background of the crosstab so that you can't see the legend
a bit more work, but it works.

Crys Reports - Mark the Legend Labels and Chart bar - values custom names

Hai,
I want to change the default names/labels of the chart elements (for e.g. bar chart - the labels and values) , in my reports the labels are directly taken from the database columns, how can I change this?,
Someone please help...
Thank you in advance.
Vijay.

Hi
You can select the individual elements(for e.g chart title,legend,chart frame,grid lines,individual bars and series risers etc.).
To do this do a normal left click and then again a left click on the desired object within the chart(which will select the object), and then do a right click which will come up with all possible options.
Say for e.g you wan't to edit a default data label then follow the steps:
1. Left click on the chart
2.Left click on the data label.
3.Right click>>Chart Options>>Titles
4.Here you can edit the default title
Thanks

Pie Chart legend label icon

Hi, is it possible to change the label icons of a Pie Chart legend? I have a pie chart with genre distribution % and would like to set the male and female genre icons instead of the color.
Thank you

Hello Pedro,
in general you can' t change the label icons in SSRS - I assume you mean with "label icons" the small colored rectangles indicating each of the sections in a pie chart. But I have a workaround for you: Simply not to use the build-in labeling mechanism
of the chart, but to create an individual textbox with the needed symbols for your purposes. In that textbox you have to set an expression for showing the needed male or female symbols as Unicode-chars. There's a text function for that, I mean something like
"=ChrW(&XXX)" is the appropriate expression. XXX has to be the character string of the Unicode-chartset, if you want e.g. the male symbol as an icon. Unfortunately, I can't post links, but it's quite easy to find via Bing or Google the needed
chars or signs in the Unicode-Table (use e.g. "Unicode table" as search string and you find a great site for retrievaling chars and symbols in the Unicode-Table).
Generally spoken, I wouldn't use pie charts at all, normally bar charts are the better choice in visualizing data - with bar charts it's easier to recognize skales than in a pie chart and you can often label bars in a direct way, so you don't need an extra
legend.
I hope I could help you, but feel free to ask me, if yo have further questions

Reporting Service chart image switch issue in Outlook

Hello~
I'm receiving report as email everyday.
That email is send by Reporting Service of MS-SQL.
I receive several report similar format as one RDL.
There are chart , table, image.
All objects in Report Mail was rendered MHTML.
However, some Chart image cached in the outlook.
Then sometimes cached chart image displayed other email.
I've changed rendering option of subscription.
It still occur my email.
It might be solved as disable cache option of Outlook account, but outlook is very slow working.
I'd like to know solution as RS side.
Thank you.

Hi,
Have you tried to create a new Outlook profile
for your account? The issue may be caused by the corrupted Outlook profile which is cached to local machine.
After creating a new profile for Outlook using cached mode, the mailbox data is re-synced from server to Outlook client new profile. And hope the issue doesn't happen in the new profile.

CR 2008 - Chart legend label issues when run on CR Server 2008

Hello all,
I have built a report in CR 2008 SP4. When I run the report locally everything is okay. In this report I have a chart which performs a count on {Command.Incident_ID}. The label for this count comes out as "Count of Incident_ID" in the legend. I then right click on this legend entry, edit the axis label and change it to something more appropriate.
When I upload this report to CR Server 2008 v0 or CR Server 2008 V1 SP3 the report does not function properly. The chart label gets produced as Count of Command.Incident_ID instead of the label I specified. I believe this is due to the CRS attaching the Command. header to the Incident_ID. It no longer matches up with what I specified during design.
Now I've gone back to older reports that I built and I can see that I did not have this issue before. I've recently upgraded to CR SP4 and Windows 7. I really feel like this is probably some option/setting on my designer side that I need to mirror on the server, however I have been unable to locate any information. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

After some testing the issue seems to be related to having SP4 installed.
When I reverted back to SP0, or SP3 it worked fine, but under SP4 it seems to drop the table reference and thus not use the correct alias for the legend names.

SSRS Hide one data value label in chart legend

Is it possible to hide one value in the legend? I've got a stacked bar chart, but there's one value that I don't want to display in the Legend. Is it possible to hide this particular color and label in the legend?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes. In Reporting Services 2005, you could add a filter to hide one value label in the chart legend. This can be done with the following instructions:
In Report Designer, open the chart properties dialog box and go to Data tab.
Double click the item in the Series groups to open the Grouping and Sorting Properties dialog box.
Switch to the Filter tab. Add a filter using the following setting:
Expression: =Fields!<FieldName>.value
Operaiton: !=
Value: =”value”
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Problem in editing legend label of line chart

Hi,
I am using crystal 2008 and deploying reports in Java appilication.
I have a report with line chart in group header. I am using formulae for 'Show value' field. So legend shows it as @formula1
I couldnt change this is design mode, so i went to preview mode and used 'edit axis label' for each of the chart.
Now i can see proper legend labels in my crystal 2008. But when i deploy the report in java application, chart still shows @formula1 .... any idea on why my changes are not displayed in crystalviewer?
Thanks

This is tricky... and somehow you won't find it in manual.
After the change of Axis Label, right click on Chart Area. You will see new option "Apply Changes to All Charts". Choose this option and voila - You owe me a bottle

Reporting Services in 2005 Secondary Pie Chart?

Hi,
In 2008 and 20012, secondary pie charts with a percentage threshold from a main pie chart can be easily created. Is it possible to do in 2005?
*CustomAttributes
Thanks.

Hi Robb,
It seems that you are using Dundas Chart Control for SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services not the Dundas Chart Control 2005 that Microsoft has purchased.
Microsoft purchased the license to use Dundas Chart Control 2005 in Reporting Services 2008 and above. Therefore the supported upgrade is from Reporting Services 2005 Dundas Charts to SSRS 2008 (R2) and SSRS 2012 Charts.
If you are using a particular component released by Dundas for SSRS 2008 R2, you won’t be able to upgrade Reporting Services 2008 R2 Reports with Dundas Charts to Reporting Services 2012 Charts.
To confirm this, please check the details of this assembly “DundasRSChart.dll” located under the /Report Server/bin directory.
If the Product Name is “Dundas Chart for Reporting Services 2008 R2”, it indicates that this is a new version of Dundas Chart for SSRS 2008 R2 (i.e. a third party control). If the Product Name is “Microsoft SQL Server”, it indicates that this is the version
that Microsoft has purchased.
In this condition, you have to migrate the DundasRSChart.dll to the SSRS 2012 instance and reference it as the custom assembly in the reports. Please make sure to rename the DLL file so that it won’t replace the native DundasRSChart.dll installed by SQL
Server 2012.

Implementing SPC/Control charts in Reporting Services/BI Solution

Hello All
I'm one of the BI specialists in our company - currently looking after our BI solution which incorporates SQL Server 2005, SSRS, SSIS, SSAS, Performance Point, Pro Clarity and various other bits and bobs etc.
What I'm aiming to do, is establish a suite of SPC/Control charts for our portal, based on the suite of cubes we already have. At the moment, I'm thinking of producing these in the SSRS environment, but I'm open to suggestions!
As a starting point, I've created the necessary charts in Excel (calculating averages, standard deviation, upper/lower control limit) etc, but now I'm looking at implementing it in our DWH.
Third party software may be an option (such as Dundas, which keeps cropping up in my crusades!) but I'd like to perhaps generate these myself - if I'm not asking too much that is!
Any advice greatly appreciated...
Cheers
Lee

Hi Lee,
Based on your descriptions, you want to implement Statistical Process Control(SPC) chart in SQL Server Reporting Services. If I have misunderstood, please do not hesitate to let me know.
By default, we only have Column, Line, Shape, Bar, Area, Range, Scatter, Polar charts in SQL Server Reporting Services. As a workaround, we can anaylze the data using SQL Server Analysis Services, and then use these chart to display the data in SQL Server Reporting Services. We can use parameters to filter data.
Third party software may be an option. However, if you want to implement these charts by yourself, we can implement a custom report item in SQL Server Reporting Services. We can start it from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345231.aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Dundas Chart for Reporting Services in SSRS 2012

We are in the process of upgrading our servers to 2012 and though I find many things about converting or upgrading dundas controls to 2008, I can't find anything about upgrading/converting to SSRS 2012. After converting the development machines to
SQL Server/SSRS 2012 the reports now simply show "The custom Report Item Type DundasChartControl is not installed". The only Dundas Chart installation I can find is for SSRS 2008. Does a 2012 version not exist? Am I supposed to
convert these into Microsoft charts?
Thanks in advance,

Crystal Reports 2008 Pie Chart Data Labels

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot get the option to put pie chart data labels in the center of each slice. There's an option to place them there, but everytime I select it, the graph reverts to putting the data labels on the outside with leader lines. I was able to do it once, for one pie chart, but have not been able to get it to work for any others. I've even tried creating a pie with only two slices in case there's a slice size limit below which the data is placed outside. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it worked once and now won't work again.
Thanks,
-Jim
Edited by: jwmckay on Apr 23, 2010 7:19 PM

Hi Jim,
The issue could be faced because of the 'Auto-arrange' layout option enabled from Chart Expert within the report.
This option allows Crystal Reports to reset the chart layout to its original size and position
To uncheck the 'Auto-arrange option':
- First Go to Chart Expert-
- Click on the Options Tab
- Uncheck Auto - Arrange
- Click OK
I hope this helps,
Selenia

Scatter Charts and Reporting Service Configuration ran into error

Dear MS Support,
i'm newbie in sharepoint, especially in sharepoint 2013. i'm interest in MS BI and collaboration with sp2013.
but after i install the sp2013 and add file excel using excel 2013, and has scatter chart inside the file, the file doesnt want to shown up. first, i read the error is about the reporting service that need to be check and configure, but after i follow
the step that i have got on internet, the error wont go away, and still appear.
here is the installation taht i've made, please check if i had miss or set the configuration wrong.
http://www.4shared.com/office/FInvHzEC/Instalasi__Autosaved__docx.html
and here the error and the capture when i try to re config the reporting service.
and
so please help me to solved this issue.
thanks in advance

Hi,
You need to choose to either use Excel services or Excel Web Apps they both have advantages. To suppress opening the file in Excel webApps use the following PowerShell cmdlet, this will resolve the error
New-SPWOPISuppressionSetting –Extension “XLSX” -Action “view”
New-SPWOPISuppressionSetting –Extension “XLS” -Action “view”
This will allow Excel services to be used to view the files or your installed Desktop Client used to edit them..
Excel Web App and Excel Services in SharePoint have a lot in common, but they are not the same. Excel Services is available only in the Enterprise edition of SharePoint Server 2013. Excel Web App is available in SharePoint Server 2013 and SharePoint Foundation
2013. Both applications enable you to view workbooks in a browser window, and both enable you to interact with and explore data.
But there are certain differences between Excel Web App and Excel Services in SharePoint. For example, Excel Services supports external data connections, data models, and the ability to interact with items that use data models (such as PivotChart reports,
PivotTable reports and timeline controls). Excel Services provides more business intelligence functionality than Excel Web App, but Excel Services does not enable users to create or edit workbooks in a browser window.
Reference:
For details about the differences between the Excel Web App and Excel Services, see
Overview of Excel Services in SharePoint Server 2013 and
Comparing Excel Services in SharePoint to Excel Web App.
