Pie Chart "PieLabelStyle" SSRS 2008

Question

I have an SSRS report with a pie chart which I am uploading into CRM 2011 and executing.  It contains a pie chart.  The pie chart has different numbers displayed to represent the percentages of each section of the chart.  They are always displayed inside the borders of the pie chart.  I want to move them outside of the pie chart.

I researched the issue and came across the "PieLabelStyle" attribute and the "LabelsRadialLineSize" attribute.  These seem to be the attributes I am looking to configure.  Unfortunately, changing either of them seems to have no affect on the formatting of the report.  Are these the attributes I should be trying to configure?  Am I not changing some other attribute which I should be changing to achieve the desired affect?  Do the attributes I am changing now not do anything?

Answer 1

I think those are the attributes you want.  The 'PieLabelStyle' should be 'Outside'.  Are you not seeing the change when you preview the report in BIDS?

Hi RST DEV,

From your description, the issue might occur due to the “Position” property setting of the Chart Label. To achieve your goal, please refer to the steps below:

1. Click on the Chart Series, expand the “Label” attribute in the “Chart Series” pane.
2. Set the “Position” property to “Auto”.

Then, please set the “PieLabelStyle” to “Outside” and check the result. If the issue persists, I suggest that you set the “Position” property to “Outside”. This should resolve the issue.
