asked on SSRS chart where horizontal axis has numeric values, but would like to display varchar values
Hi All
I have an SSRS 2012 column chart with a horizontal axis that displays scores 1 to 20, and a final row that is intended to show '20+' for all scores above 20.
In T-SQL I have a Stored Procedure to pull this off, returning the set in the below image. For the moment, the entire purpose of the 'label' column is to show a 20+ (green rectangle), as if I don't do this there are scores up to 500 and that really skews the graph and makes the 1-20 scores hard to read.![data-set-horizontal-axis-20-plus.jpg]()
Question: In SSRS how can I indicate that the series values / horizontal axis is one column (score, int), but have it display another (label, varchar(5) ?
If I use the score column it shows a 21 for my '20+', and if I use the label column it sorts the graph in varchar order (1, 10, 11, 12) and not numeric (1, 2, 3, 4..)![ssrs-designer-good.jpg]()
Thanks in advance.

>One side effect is now the bottom labels are staggered over two 'rows', which I'll play with to resolve.
Chart Axis > LabelsAutoFitDisabled = True took care of that.
Chart Axis > LabelsAutoFitDisabled = True took care of that.

A few things to deal with, but I'm taking off for two weeks in a couple of hours, so splitting points here.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sorry. I forgot to attach the example. I created a dataset with the columns score and score_sum. I created a column chart with this data and set the Label and 'Group on' expressions for the Category Group to:
=iif( Fields!score.Value<=20,Fields!score.Value,"20+")
One side effect is now the bottom labels are staggered over two 'rows', which I'll play with to resolve.
@Nicobo - The expression works when I used it for data points, Chart Series > Label > Label (which also forces Chart Series > Label > UseValueAsLabel='False', but I am unable to locate the property to set this so the horizontal axis labels reflect the expression.
Thanks.
