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 RepliesI 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,
Alex
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 a Matrix with dynamic columns. I am grouping Matrix on one column group. I am trying to have a different color for every group. I hvae so far, three groups. How can I do that? A note, there is no data for every column group in every row.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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 am facing some issue in rendering my SSRS report(2012 version) to excel sheet with color codes. i am using conditional formatting to display the colors. So what is happening is ,take the below expression as an example, for the id  = 0, we are not getting white back ground, we are getting some other colors. But the same thing is working fine in SSRS 2008R2.Â
=IIF(MAX(Fields!id.Value=0,
= 0, "WHITE","BLUE")
I need to create area chart using SSAS cube which will be having :
sum(A) as per the Series group i.e Projects (expression used is Sum(Fields!Demand_FTE.Value))
Sum(B) as per the CategoryGroup1Â =Sum(Fields!Demand_FTE.Value,"CategoryGroup1") where categoryGroup1 is calculated date
And Sum(C)Â =Â sum(Lookup(Fields!Time_FY.Value,Fields!Time_FY.Value,Fields!Capacity_FTE.Value, "DataSet2")).
I want Sum(C) to be calculated on Fields!Time_FY.Value (which is  CategoryGroup2)
Sum(C) do not have any links with CategoryGroup1 and that is why my graph is synchronized.
Sum(A and B) belongs to Dataset1 and SUM(C) belongs to Dataset2
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

Hi,
I am new to reporting services and I am stuck. I have a report I am trying to design, it has startdate and end date as parameters, I als have a non-queried parameter with the values of month,week,user,hour. These parameter values create a drowndown box on the report, What I am trying to figure out is how to display information in a chart depending on which item is selected i.e (month,week,user etc....). The original report is in access and I am converting it to reporting services, I know there is third party software out there but, I really want to use reporting services.
hey there
Happy New Year to you all.
in RS 2005
in layout tab
I have four columns in my table
col 1 (group on Company)
col 2 (group on application)
col 3 (count on id no) // total field (count/idno) // max/idno)
col 4 (graph) as I want this to show line by line (visual statement)
I read you need to put that max field in to help with graph. in the Y axis Max field
Unfortunately I either didn't read it properly or I am doing something really wrong.
My graph is not showing correctly - eg one line has 2 in it and is showing more than a line that has 227.
call id is in data of the graph
company name is in series of the graph
can someone explain what I am doing wrong please
thanks

I 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.
Hi all,I have created on Chart using Chart control
But legend names are by default 'Series1','Series2'.
How to change these names according to x and y axis values names.
Help me
I have some data from SQL server which contains NULL values for certain fields. I have to create a chart with sum of a field. There is no category and series groups, we are just showing the total sum of a field in chart. Since I have NULL in my source data, nothing is displayed in the chart. I cannot exclude this record from dataset as I have to use this record for other charts. I have to do some filtering in the chart area itself. I have given IsNothing() in the filter of chart properties. It does not work for me. Even I tried to give IsNothing() in the exp of  Sum() .
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to build a report that is basically a series of line charts that is plotting a value over time. Â I can accomplish this one chart/dataset at a time, but I believe with 'List's this can be achieved in a more automated fashion.If I have some data similar to this:
Area_ID, Location_Name, DataValue, ReadingDate
1,Site1,100,1990-10-10
1,Site1,110,1990-11-11
1,Site2,105,1994-01-07
1,Site2,105,1994-02-07
2,Site3,113,1994-06-02
2,Site3,120,1994-07-30
2,Site4,120,1994-06-30
2,Site4,120,1994-07-30
I want the charts grouped by the Area_ID, and then each Location_Name is a Series in that chart. Â So in this example, I would end up with 2 charts (Areas 1 & 2), each have 2 series (Area 1: Site1, Site2 and Area 2: Site3, Site4)Is it possible to build this with a list? or do I need to structure the data differently?
I am able to preview my report in Microsoft Visual Studio with a chart embedded at the top of the report. However after uploading the report to Report Manager, the chart is blank. How can I get the chart to be visible in Report Manager? I am using SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I can see the chart if I edit the report in Report Building in the print layout mode. I can also see the chart in my Microsoft Visual Studio Project.

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

I have an application which has a database table called Category. Its very simple, with fields id and categoryname.

Is this the best way? Or something else.

Hello,
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified.
Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases
Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database

Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?

I'm attempting to obtain a cost effective solution for my existing customers to develop reports on their SQL 2000 Server installations using their Reporting Services 2000. With products like Visual Basic.NET 2003 becoming almost impossible to obtain, I have at least one customer who is running into a dead end.
One option possibly is the SQL Express with Advanced Services download, which has Reporting Services. My questions are as follows:
Can the report designer component of SQL Express Reporting Services be configured to connect to an external database (which would happen to be a SQL 2000 database) to establish its datasets?
Does the resultant designed report end up in an RDL file? If the customer published this report via the Reporting Services 2000 Report Manager, would the report be able to run?
Sorry for asking a question like this that I could probably answer on my own, but my customer needed this answer yesterday. I have scoured the web and microsoft sites - and posted a question on the official SQL Reporting Services cateogy ... in an attempt to answer the basic question of how to design reports for Reporting Services 2000 in the absence of Visual Basic.NET 2003 (or other .NET 2003 tools) with no success.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I work in a big project and we will begin in using reporting services as the base technique for reports and I will be responsible for this part. but I have a problem I will discuss in the following:
Currently: We use currently devexpress reports and we have 2 languages(Arabic and English). the data in tables saved in two ways (Arabic and English). when the end user change the language of the web site the report data language changed when run it.
Example:
we have table with (ID, NAME_AR, NAME_EN, JobTitle_AR, JobTitle_EN). designed report will display(ID, NAME_EN, JobTitle_EN) . but the end user change the language of the system the report will
dispaly(ID, NAME_AR, JobTitle_AR)Â
Hint:this done pragmatically
how to do this in reporting services.
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,

Hi,
I know the title is not really that specific but I have a question about the use of templates.
When you copy a package (template) you allways have to generate a new id for it to be unique. But when you copy the package the tasks (etc.) will not get an new id and you can't even change it because it is readonly. So two different packages can have tasks which has the exact same id!!
When you debug in VS if you run two packages in parrallel the one that first exits will become green and VS will automatically make all tasks that has this exact id green - making it seem like the task in another package has finished while it may not have started yet at all.
So the question is: beside the strange behavour with the color can this identical id problem be a real problem causing other strange behavours that is more serious than just a change in color?
Has others experienced this behavour?
