Data Series Color and Fill Effects?

Hi,

I was wondering if one could manage the color of the data series in line and bar charts much like what you could do in Excel?

Even changing the default order of the colors would be nice, just so different charts actually look...well, different.

Thanks!

Well,

I figured out how to do it, when I actually have multiple data fields there. It is a simply matter of navigating to:

Properties -> Data Tab -> Edit Values...

However, when I have different series that are determined dynamically by dropping dimension fields into the series field, can you still dictate the colors and fills?

Thanks!

OK, I found this online:

But I can't seem to find the magical custom code window.

Where is the custom code window?

(I know this is a stupid question, but I really really can't find it)

Data not getting plotted in line graph

Hi,
I have a LINE chart with 2 data fields, and 1 category field.
I havent included any series field in the chart.
If the query returns more than 1 records then both the data field values are
getting plotted in the graph.
If the query returns only one record then only the first data point is
plotted. I dont know why the value for second data field is not plotted...
Is it a bug in reporting services?
Please any one reply me asap... I have to fix it for the client by today...
Thanks for help...
Regards,
RanjithTo add more information,
if i change the chart type to any other chart other then LINE graph, it is
getting plotted. Only for Line graph its not working...
Thanks,
Ranjith

It sounds like you have a very similar situation. You can either request the
SP1-based hotfix or use SP2 Beta (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842440) or
wait till the official release of SP2.
