Hi all,
Hopefully someone can clarify for me. I'd like to use custom colors for a chart that I have created. I've seen some code examples but I'm not really sure what to do with them. I've been using reporting services for like 2 days and I don't know xml or vb script, so I apologize for the probably stupid question. Thank you in advance.

I have created a linked report in which I have two screen:
First Screen: Clicking on the bar of particular country the details of that particular country should be visible (the second screen)
Second Screen: When I clicked on a bar. All the count values are very well correct. In first chart Count of values under one bar "Pending decision"(yellow) was 337 for a country and in second screen its 337 again(shown in light green bar).
<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->
Problem: My problem is to make it sure that the colors that the first screen is having for particular status (as shown in the legend) should remain same in second screen also. For example for a status say "pending decision" the chart is using yellow color, so in screen two as well it must be shown with yellow color and not with lany other color. Can anyone help me in this context. Is there any way to customize colors used by bar chart. Please note that the question is not about using appropriate color scheme(palette) the question is how to "capture/ Re-use/ customize/ pass as a parameter" the colors used by a bar chart in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
I have a column bar chart which displays values for each month. As per the requirement, January column must be blue, February must be orange, March must be green, April must be pink. These 4 colors would repeat for the remaining months.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a report in which I have assigned custom colors with a function to one of my stacked column charts. When I run it in the report builder, the colors are correctly placed, but as soon as I upload the report to the server and view the report from there, the colors get swapped. I have these custom colors applied to other stacked column charts in the report and they work perfectly fine. The only difference between this chart and my other charts is that it contains two category groups.
EDIT: Alright, I have gotten it to display the correct colors by using a function with the colors I wanted in reverse. I have two values, "Upcoming" which is displayed in red, and "Outstanding" which is displayed in blue. If the chart has only upcoming values, it will display in blue rather than red, whereas if I have upcoming and outstanding values, they will display in their correct colors. why this is occurring?
I have been asked to derive a bar charts in SSRS. Each bar would represents a different category and each bar should come with different colors. No. of categories might vary every time, it is not fixed. How to achieve this dynamically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need some help regarding Custom Colors implementation for Charts in the Reporting Services.
What we are trying to do is to make every color for every Series(see example below) to be a customized Corporate color.
For example each of the series on the Chart should be in specific Custom Color:
Series 1 - "LightBlue"
Series 2 - "LightYellow"
Series 3 - "DarkBrown"
All I found from MSDN is how to do it in the Chart Properties in a Code section (right click on the report outside the chart -> Properties -> Code tab -> paste the Custom Code ).
And then to use it in the Chart color definition as:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Series# )
But we are trying to do it in a separate C# class that would be updated only in one place, instead of changing 30 reports each time something is changed. So that it could be generic.
The C# class:
Code Snippet
namespace CustomColorPalette
{
public class CustomPalette
{
public CustomPalette()
{
}
public static string GetColor(string GroupingValue)
{
int groupingValue = int.Parse(GroupingValue);
string[] colorPalette = {"Green", "Blue", "Red"};
if (groupingValue < colorPalette.Length)
{
return colorPalette.GetValue(groupingValue).ToString();
}
else
{
return "Black"; // if # of Series is more than defined - all undefined will be = Black color
}
}
}
}
I tried 2 different ways:
1.
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Public Function GetColor(SeriesNumber as String)
Return CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette.GetColor(SeriesNumber)
End Function
And in the Chart Custom Color settings I put:
Code Snippet=Code.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I get an error:
Error 303 [rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 2 of custom code: [BC30451] Name 'CustomColorPalette' is not declared. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
2.
Second way I tried:
Then I put a code into a Custom Code section of a report:
Code Snippet
Dim X As CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit()
X = new CustomColorPalette.CustomPalette()
End Sub
And in the Chart Custom Color I put:
Code Snippet=Code.X.GetColor( Fields!SeriesNumber.Value )
And after compilation I am getting an error like this:
Error 302 [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The BackgroundColor expression for the chart €˜chart2€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'X' is not a member of 'ReportExprHostImpl.CustomCodeProxy'. c:developmentvoyagerreportsvoyager convert reports.rootvoyager convert reportsReport_007D.rdl 0 0
Is there any workaround? Or all I can do is to make the Custom Colors manually in each report, and if something need to be changed - I will need to change it in each report separately
Thanks,

Hello All,
I have a reporting services report in the form of a chart. I have two datafields on the chart.
I need to be able to dynamically hide one datafield and view the chart for the other one and vice versa.
How do I do this ?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks!
When I export the report in excel format the chart is displayed as picture. I want it to be displayed as editable chart.Does Office Writer work in this situation and did anyone use Office Writer to accomplish same type of problem.Is there any other method or product we can use instead of the office writer.

Hi All,
I like RS for SQL server.
However, I am surprised (and frustrated) how limited the chart capabilities are; perhaps we have been spoiled by Excel...
Anyway, is there any way to change the color of the chart bars programatically.
I can select different schemas (excel, pastel, grayscale, etc) but I need to go a little bit further, is that much to ask?
Oh, by the way, we can't mix chart styles, can't we?
Need to show a chart and a line in the same report...
I appreciate your help on this, hopefully any answers to my questions might also help with other RS users with the same needs,
Thanks,
L
We mark cells in  a report using color names like red, pink, and transparent in the fill expression. In the browser it works correctly. When exported to Excel the colors go to the wrong cells. This worked correctly in SSRS 2008.Â
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 3 SSRS 2014 (Dev, UAT and Prod). I would like to change background colors of each environment and customize the title 'SQL Server Reporting Services' to ' SSRS Development'.
I prefer to implement both, a background color change and a title change. The reason for this is to clarify to end users which environment they are working with.
Where can I make those minimal changes in SSRS 2014.
I have a chart that presently has two groupings on the x-axis: Year & Qtr. I'd like the Year labels to be one color, and the Qtr labels to be a different color. (All year labels should be Black, all Qtr labels should be Blue). I can see that an expression can be written to handle this dynamically, but I'm banging my head trying to figure it out...
Any help?

I am trying to display a chart from a data source that runs a stored procedure. The data dislays fine in the dataset tab, however, when I try to preview the report I get the following message:
'An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report 'reportname' is invalid. An internal error occured on the report server. See the error log for more details'.
I have looked at the error logs, but they do not help. I am thinking that my stored procedure is pushing a limit of the chart report. If I display the same data in a table, it displays fine, it is only in a chart. As I stated, the data is displaying in the dataset grid.
Can anyone give me an idea as to what my problem might be? I have other charts that run fine, but not using a stored procedure like the one below where I am performing multiple selects.

Is it possible to have the value labels always on top of the bars of a bar chart?Â
On the Chart Series Labels properties under Appearance, I used Top for Position, but if the bar reaches the top of the chart area (and that is determined automaticaly by the Y Axis that and can't be a fixed value).
We are having trouble finding a lot of documentation around configuring the Funnel chart. Specifcally, we would like to know if there's an option to be able to place the lengend title on the actual Funnel layer. Also, we would like to be able to control the order of the funnel layers to match a business process order from top to bottom. It would appear that the Funnel defaults to aphabetical ordering of the layers. Any good reference for the options available?

I have the above output. When I try to input this as a dataset to a pie chart I don't get the data lables for two slices of the pie chart. Only one slice will show the values when showing data label option is enabled.
For the Pie chart, I have added Soft, Hard and Primary as Values. I haven't added a Category group or a Series group. Why isn't this showing the data labels for the other slices?
Do I need to transform the dataset so that it has a category and the value like below?
XYZ,  2, Soft 50
XYZ ,  2, Hard, 10
XYZ,  2, Primary, 40
Will this work since it has a define category that I could insert for the chart.
Is there a possibility in SSRS to have  One stacked bar of cumulative sum of different ID's and and Line Chart at left hand of the Bar which will show the Progress as soon as the ID turn to Competed status.
I have been trying to do this , however there is huge problem of scaling:
The line should be finished at all the completed ID's SUM which is the lowest stack of the Bar.
However , the bar gets stretched to all of the space.

I'm using Reporting Services 2008 R2, version 10.50.2550.0, and Visual Studio 2008, version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE. Not sure if the SQL version matters, since I haven't gotten the report out of the development environment.I've read lots of messages, including URL.... that show you can have multiple data entries per row in a Range Bar Chart, simply by turning DrawSideBySide to False.My data set basically contains four pieces of data, LineNumber, Equipment, StartTime and EndTime. I have data like:
1, 'CLM1', 08:00, 08:30
1, 'CLM1', 09:00, 09:15
2, 'SS1', 08:05, 08:35
2, 'SS1', 09:05, 09:35
(I actually have a date with my datetime entries, but that should give you the idea.) My chart is set up with Values of EndTime and StartTime. If I set my chart up with only Equipment in the Category Groups entry, my chart will show CLM1 from 08:00-08:30, and SS1 from 08:05 to 08:35. No sign of the other entries per equipment, although I added a tablix to retrieve the same data and it all shows up.Changing DrawSideBySide between True, False and Auto has no effect on the data displayed on my chart. If I add StartTime in the Category Groups, I do show all the data, but one row for each piece of data, which isn't what the customer wants.From what I can tell from various sites, I'm set up right, but it just isn't working.
