Is there a way to adjust the orientation of the grouping labels (x-axis) of a bar chart in a report.So instead of displaying the grouping label text horizontally I want to display the text vertically?Is there any way to access the chart object and code this in the report from properties ->code tab? Any suggestions?
From the "Axis Label Formatting Q&A" section of the following whitepaper: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/MoreSSRSCharts.asp?frame=true#moressrscharts_topic3
Question (X-axis): How does automatic x-axis label positioning work?
Answer: Currently, built-in Reporting Services charts only allow automatic positioning in order to avoid overlapping the x-axis labels. The label direction (horizontal/vertical) of the axis labels depends on the label string sizes and the available space. X-axis labels are either shown horizontally in one line, horizontally in multiple lines with line breaks, or vertically. Showing x-axis labels at an angle, or explicit manual control over individual x-axis label positions is currently not supported.
Note There are several third-party chart add-ins that enable more control over axis labels. These add-ins can be installed on top of Reporting Services 2005.
