I have a SSRS report with a chart that has a data point that 3 different sets of data share, so naturally when I show labels that data point has 3 labels. I would like to reduce this to just 1 label, is this possible?
Unfortunately there isn’t a way to suppress/limit labels in this scenario using the UI in SSRS. The only method is to utilize a “custom” SQL command as described in the comments.

The main method I have for altering the formatting of the final reports is in SQL Server Report Builder.
I have a table within this system which currently is as shown below with some information blacked out.
As shown currently the second line (as shown by 004A) of groupings (referred to as a subsample) comes up with blank areas in the second, third, and fifth columns where the cells have been hidden.
This shading has been done with the following code:
=Iif(Left(Fields!LabSampleNo.Value,3) MOD 2 = 0, "WhiteSmoke", "Transparent")
Is there a way to fix this issue without having to go to coding outside the report builder or by making the fields no longer hidden?
Any help would be great.
As the textboxes are hidden you will not be able to see the backcolor. It is the entire textbox you are hiding, not just it's content.
So the answer to your question is no, you will have to make the textboxes visible again however you can just wrap your value expression inside the same logic as you used to hide the columns.
So, let's say you are hiding the columns based on the first column have non numeric characters and the column you wanted to hide was called myDataColumn then you could do something like...
=IIF(ISNUMERIC(Fields!myFirstColumn.Value), Fields!myDataColumn.Value, "")
Your row's background color expression would remain the same.
I am using Data-Studio to generate charts. I am generating charts for compute instances based on their CPU usage,in time-series. When I generate a chart(a line chart) a few instances are represented as lines in the chart, which have specific CPU usage values, but the majority of instances get accumulated into a category called "others" and therefore I am unable to show the metrics for others and the chart is not very useful.
Is there any way this category others can be avoided in data studio? so that all the instances are represented by a line or a bar?
I am new to Data-Studio. Kindly help. Thanks
There are a couple of ways to display the chart Without the Others series:
1) Time Series Chart
If you are using Date in the X-Axis (Dimension) then I'd suggest a Time Series chart as it's designed for Dates, and automatically sorts by Date as well as allowing for Date Range comparison (it also don't display the Others series, and series can be displayed as a line or bar).
2) Line Chart
Regarding the initial question (Line Chart) - Tested this out in a number of different Reports and Data Sources to confirm, and it seems to do the trick:
Create a Time Series chart;
Change the Chart Type to a Line chart;
Sort by Date in Ascending order.
Google Data Studio Report and a GIF to elaborate:
I have gantt chart report on SSRS. I want to fix my order_id(PROD100059198) inside block(bar) that's why I need to bigger(wider) blocks(bars).
How can I bigger these blocks?
Thanks.
Select the Chart Series. In the Properties pane, navigate to CustomAttributes - PointWidth. Adjust to suit.
For a dynamic pointwidth
=IIF(CInt(CountDistinct(Fields!Prod.Value,"DataSet1"))< 3,0.2,0.5)
This would give you two sizes. You could extend the IIF to give many widths
I have the following report:
In Excel I'd use something called Freeze Pane below the chart ....this would mean as the user scrolls down, the table will scroll, but the chart would always remain visible.
Is it possible to implement this behavior in RS?
EDIT
Note: the chart and the tablix use different Datasets
Yes, you can get this going with a bit of tweaking.
With Tablix objects, you have the option to fix header rows, i.e. they will stay at the top of the page when scrolling.
You can set this at the Tablix level:
Or at the row level with Advanced Mode set by using the FixedData property:
So what you can do to take advantage of this is to insert a Chart into those repeating Header rows. I tested this with a basic report:
This did succeed in having the Chart scroll with the Tablix, so will fulfil your requirements. One warning - it didn't look good when I did this (overlapping cells and the like), but it was a report with zero formatting so hopefully this will be helpful for you, anyway.
Edit after comment:
In my simple report example I added a new Dataset to the report, and pointed the embedded Chart to this new Dataset - this didn't work, as every time I did this it would always revert to the old Dataset (i.e. the one specified at the Tablix level).
However, what you can do instead is use a Subreport, which contains the required Chart, and embed this Subreport in the Tablix header. I just tried it now and it worked as required; the Chart using the second Dataset was fine and it scrolled with the Tablix as required.
So it's still a viable option with multiple Datasets, you just need the extra step of using a Subreport:
New report:
Subreport:
As seen in image, the data labels are overlapping and making the data difficult to read. Anybody know how to sort this?
Have now updated the question as I have changed the PieLabelStyle to Outside and in the picture you can see in the design view above it acknowledges this however when I preview the chart it remains on the inside! (See image 3 link below)

Technet has a nice piece on this:
The secret is in the Properties pane under the Custom Attributes section:
A good solution is to sort the pie chart between small and big pieces. I posted a script that helps with this issue:
