Position labels in a paginated report chart (Report Builder)

  • Artikel

Applies to:  Microsoft Report Builder (SSRS)  Power BI Report Builder  Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools

Because each chart type in a paginated report has a different shape, data point labels are placed in an optimal location so as not to interfere on the chart. The default position of the labels varies with the chart type:

  • On stacked charts, labels can only be positioned inside the series.

  • On funnel or pyramid charts, labels are placed on the outside in a column.

  • On pie charts, labels are placed inside the individual slices on a pie chart.

  • On bar charts, labels are placed outside of the bars that represent data points.

  • On polar charts, labels are placed outside of the circular area that represents data points.

Note

You can create and modify paginated report definition (.rdl) files in Microsoft Report Builder, Power BI Report Builder, and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools.
