You can override auto-fitting options for each axis independently. As a result, some category labels might be omitted. The chart calculates between four and six labels and it calculates auto-fit settings to determine how the labels can fit on the category axis without causing label collisions. The Name field is plotted along the category axis.
The chart also calculates five equidistant intervals of 100, and creates labels at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500. In this case, the chart calculates the scale to start at 0 and end at 500. The lowest value is 112 and the highest value is 494. The Quantity field is plotted along the value -axis. The Name field is added to the Category Groups area, and the Quantity field is added to the Values area. The table shown here contains sample sales data to be plotted on a column chart. These axis label auto-fit options can be changed.Įxample of How the Chart Calculates Axis Labels Properties that affect label placement include font size, the angle at which the labels are displayed, and text wrapping properties. Minimum and maximum values are identified based on the values in the result set.Īn equidistant number of axis intervals, usually between four and six, are calculated based on these minimum and maximum values.īased on the axis label properties, labels are displayed at these intervals.
The application calculates where labels are placed on an axis according to the following steps: Category Field TypeĬategories are plotted in numeric order along the x-axis.Ī sales report by employee identification number displays the employee identification numbers along the x-axis.Ĭategories are plotted in chronological order along the x-axis.Ī sales report by month displays formatted dates along the x-axis.Ĭategories are plotted in the order it first appears in the data source along the x-axis.Ī sales report by region displays region names along the x-axis.Īll chart types with two axes are designed to suppress some axis labels when there are too many categories to fit in order to produce a cleaner image on the chart and avoid label collisions. The following table illustrates these three types of category fields. Any field in a dataset can be categorized into one of three category field types. On the category axis, the minimum and maximum value types are determined depending on the type of your category field. On the value axis, the scale will always be determined by the smallest and largest number in the value field. The chart calculates the minimum and maximum value along each axis based on the values in your result set. The axis scale is bound by a minimum and a maximum value that define the data range to be displayed along the axis. This will enable you to set the properties necessary to achieve the axis labeling behavior that you want. How the Chart Calculates Axis Label Intervalsīefore you format axis labels, you should understand how the chart calculates axis label intervals. For more information, see Bar Charts (Report Builder and SSRS). In bar chart types, the category axis is the vertical axis and the value axis is the horizontal axis. The category axis is usually the horizontal axis, or x-axis, of the chart. A field that is dragged into the data fields region will be plotted on the value axis. It is used to display numeric data values that are being charted. The value axis is usually the vertical axis, or y-axis, of the chart. When you drag a field from your dataset onto the chart surface, the chart will determine whether this field belongs on the category or value axis. The chart has two primary axes: the value axis and the category axis.
