BAR Chart Customization

I have a requirement in bar charts using SSRS to show an additional image along with the Data label.

Assuming A, B, C are the products getting displayed and its performance rating is 25, 35, 30 respectively. I should get the Product Related Image next to the datalabel. Please let me know if there are any possibilities available to generate such report using SSRS...Thanks

HI,Coras

Here's a neat trick a co-worker and I have found for creating aninline bar chart(an inline data visualization in a table or other data region).

1. Add an embedded image to your report that will serve as the "bar" (a simple horizontal gradient usually looks nice)

2. Add a column to your table, and place an Image report item in the detail row cell.

3. Select the embedded image from step 1 as the source for the Image report item.

4. Set the padding on the Image report item to adjust the size and position of the bar within the cell

5.[Here's the kicker] Create an expression for the right (or left) padding that divides a field value by some maximum value, clamps it to a given range if necessary using Math.Min/Max, and then multiplies by the total size of the bar.

Example:image1.Padding.Right=((1.0-(Math.Min(Math.Max(Fields!TotalSales.Value,0),100000)/100000))*72) & "pt"

If i misunderstand you about your question, please feel free to correct me and i will try to help you with more information.

I hope the above information will be helpful. If you have any issues or concerns, please let me know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance

Hi Rex,

Thanks a lot for your reply...Just for us to synchronize our thought, I am adding few more points here

Since I am not able to add my Excel image in the forums as it throws error, I am trying to show you the graphical representation of the image as below

If you see above in the chart, the smileys occupy at different places based on the value of the bar. This is the way I would like to have my chart...Please let me know if you need any further information for developing such reports..Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Coras

P.S: Request you to arrange the chart available as lines, if this gets scattered after the post..
