Missing Axis Option in SSRS 2008 R2

Question

On the Horizontal Properties for a chart I do not find the options as listed in this link - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934393(v=sql.105).aspx

Instead all I see is a completely different options as shown below -

Am I missing any service Pack?

I have tried to search but am unable to get proper explanation. What am I missing? I have SQL Server 2008 R2  Enterprise Edition installed.

Hi Karthik,

What you are showing in the diagram is only x-axis, where the link you shared shows all the option available in both horizontal and vertical axis, its not restricted to one axis description.

Please find the screen shot for all the axis:

1.) Vertical axis:



2.) Horizontal axis:(Axis Type - Category and Scalar)

Hi There

Thanks for your posting. As Harsh said in the above post when you click on the horizontal axis by default on the Axis Type, the category radio button has been set. If you change this option to Category and Scalar, You can see all the other options.

I hope this will help.

Many Thanks

Thanks Harsh. That answers my question but I just have one small pending doubt.

As per the book I am reading here is the screenshot of the value axis properties -

In my solution here is what I currently find -

Hence the confusion. Why is there a difference?

Hi Karthik,

Screens shot in book is from SSRS 2008 and the Screen shot you posted is from SSRS 2008 R2. (Both are different version of Reporting Services).

For the all option on vertical axis for 2008 and 2008 r2, Please refer link below:

1.) SSRS 2008 -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934393(v=sql.100).aspx

2.) SSRS 2008 R2 - >  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934393(v=sql.105).aspx Hope this answers your question.
