Chart legend has too much data - how to only show 1 legend



Chart legend has too much data - how to only show 1 legend NP

sql server reporting services: I have created a hybrid bar chart / with line. Basically uses the bars to
show sales for each geographic region. A single line is plotted showing the
sales goal to be reached. The x axis is "Region" The y axis value 1 is total
sales $. I added y value 2 to show the sales goal $ and the legend
automatically got populated with series labels. I only want the x axis
labels to be in the legend.

NP,

This is not a direct answer to your question, but I got tired of the report
legend and what seemed the lack of configuration and used a nice trick from
the Technical Article: Get More Out of SQL Server Reporting Services Charts
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964128.aspx) to create my own
legend. The document is excellent, five stars.

If you use the Custom Chart Color Palettes and Legends section from the doc
you will see what I mean. You are able to create your own legend and use what
you want and remove what you don't.

Hope this helps.

Reeves
