Chart Labels at an angle?

Hi,

I have created a report with bar chart but the labels are too long and often go into next line. Is there any way to specify text orientation for labels of a bar chart? I would like to show the chart labels at an angle. Is it possible?

Any help will be appreciated!

This depends on which labels you are referring to. If you are referring to data point labels, then yes, it is possible to specifiy an angle. However, if you are referring to the labels on one of the axes, then no, it is not possible at this time to specify an angle. These labels are positioned automatically. The ability to manually set the angle for axis labels is a potential new feature for the next version of Reporting Services.

To Set the Angle for Data Point Labels:
In the Report Designer, there is a section on the Chart Value properties dialog that allows you to specify an angle for data point labels. This is located on the Point Labels tab of this dialog, which can be reached by creating or editing a Chart Value on the Data tab of the Chart properties dialog.

Chart actions produce blue border

When I place a chart in a table group header and specify a hyperlink action, the chart becomes adorned with a blue border. When I take the chart out of the table, the border disappears. The same problem occurs in a matrix.
Is this by design (is this somehow a hyperlink blue)? If so, how do I turn this off.
MaxUnfortunately browsers draw this blue border even if border style is set
None.
As workaround you may try to place rectangle into table or matrix cell, and
then put a chart into this rectangle.

Good software finds bugs in other software!

chart - y-axis

How can I show the y-axis to be a little bit higher than the maximum value on
a simple column chart? I do not specify the maximum value. Also, can I make
line-column chart in report designer like in excel.
Thanks in advance.
JSJust turn on the margins on the y-axis (chart properties dialog - y-axis
tab)
