How To Format A SSRS Report Builder Data Bar Chart

If you're working with SSRS Report Builder and want to add a data bar chart to your report, this tutorial shows you how to do it step-by-step. Data bars are small bar charts that are added within tables, matrices, and lists, providing additional information in the form of a visualization.

First, you need to insert a new column in the matrix. Make sure to select the "Outside Group" option, which excludes it from the filtering applied to the group. With the new column created, you can now add the data bar chart to the chosen column by selecting the "Data Bar" option from the formatting toolbar. From there, you can customize the data bar in terms of color, size, orientation, and other formatting options to best suit your needs.

With the data bar chart added and formatted, it can help provide a clear, visual representation of the data points in your report, making it easier for your audience to understand and interpret the insights being presented.

So if you're looking to add more visual appeal to your SSRS Report Builder reports, this tutorial is a great place to start.
