SSRS 2005 LINE CHART- adding single series

  • I have a stored procedure that creates results like this (simplified here):

    series,month,value

    1,Jan,35.5

    1,Feb,39.4

    ..etc

    2,Jan,40.4

    2,Feb,21.3

    ..etc

    3,Jan,37.2

    3,Feb,41.3

    ..etc

    I'm using a line chart like a pivot, so the series groups are based on the series column, and I get a line on the chart for each series.

    All the series are on the same scale, and aim at the same target (let's say 40.0)

    I wanted to add a single line across the chart at 40.0

    For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do that. I can add a new value of "40.0" but then this shows up on the legend as a second item for each series.

    I don't want to change the stored procedure to add a bogus series (series 0) where all the values are 40.0 because then I'll get markers, etc, and it seems like more of a hack.

    so I guess the question is: Is there a way to suppress this second value from the legend?

    Thanks!!!

  • Don't know about hiding values in the legend. I'll try using the (minor) gridlines on the Y axis for this purpose - set the interval to 40, change the color to red and mayby even increase the width to highlight it.

  • That is a surprisingly easy solution!

    The only catch is that if the interval line is red (for example) the bottom gridline on the X axis is also red (since it's technically the first line in the interval).

    I'm trying to find a way around that because this is definitely the quickest / simplest solution!

  • This did the trick. Thanks!

  • Hi there,

    Can you please post the stored procedure that you used to get this data.
