  Hi Guys,

  Its a crazy world we live in..... Reporting Services is great, I'm new to RS development but am enjoying the benefits of RS already...

  But wait!! Whats up with the Charts, how come I cant specify the colors I want to use on the Charts/legend... why do we have to pick for the silly list of colours that the have provided.

  Is there any way of changing the colors in a chart?? or are we forced to use the colors they have provided.

  Many Thanks

   

  Munish

  I believe it's to do with the way the charting control has been implemented in this release. Look for more customisation in the charting with the SQL Server 2005 release.

  Define the color as a function ="Blue".  They are being applied as default, unless you set them with a function.

  Right Click on the Chart ->  Properties -> Data Tab -> Values -> Edit button -> Appearance Tab -> Series Style button -> Set Color as = "Blue" or define an expression with the function button.

  Good Luck,

  Lon

  Hi Lon,

  Could you tell me exactly you put this function expression?

  I am actually trying to change column colours dynamically for each data point in a 3D columan graph. Is this possible?

  Cheers,
