I've got an SSRS report that contains a table and a chart. In the table, the name Café shows up with no problem, but in the chart it gets escaped (rendered as Café).
I'm not having any luck finding a solution to this, but I'm aware that its probably something easy I'm doing wrong/overlooking. Can anyone provide some insight?

I can't find any help online with my problem maybe due to that I don't know the exact keywords to use but hear me out.
Here is the screen shot of my report format...
The actual report result appears like this...
The next item appears beside (right side) the first result. I want it to appear below instead like this...
How do I achieve this? Just comment any additional information that is needed.
BTW, I am using visual studio 2013 (Seems like it matters).
UPDATE:
This is the report format that I want to copy. The headers are not important just the body of the report. Thanks!
Try to use grouping go to this link hope this gives you a clue thanks
Finally found out what's wrong. I removed the column groupings and added only a parent row group. Then I added all needed rows and columns inside the group. It was fairly easy once I found out the problem.
Here's the output of my report.
Thanks guys!
I have a Crystal report with several subreports linked on a common field - all working great. Now must add another, very complex, existing report as a new sub. This report's data source code stretches several pages. It also has over a dozen parameters which are further imbedded in numerous formula fields through out. That said, it runs fine and has a parameter that links with the main report. Unfortunately all the other parameter prompts is supremely annoying.
I've searched high and low for a method to accept default values without prompts but Crystal doesn't seem to accommodate that notion.
Revising the report to remove all the unneeded parameters would be extremely painful and simply not an option.
I'm hoping to find an alternate way to pass the parameter values to prevent the prompt. I'm aware of the SetParameterValue() method of the ReportDocument class but not sure how to use it. I've found examples of how to use it with C#, VS, ASP.net, etc., none of which work for an end user like myself.
Could the data source command itself be used?
Much thanks for any recommendations, guidance or thoughts!
With Command Level prompts, you would never be able to change the prompt values with the CR Viewer.
If the report is supposed to be viewed in the CR Viewer and you need the functionality or changing prompt values, try this:
1) Remove Command Level prompts
2) Create the Data prompt in the report from the Field Explorer
3) Create a Record Selection formula like this:
{date_field} = {?Date_prompt}
under Report > Selection Formulas > Saved data
4) Save the report with data
Try this...
I am working in an office automation tool to process PowerPoint documents, where I am facing an issue in formatting Chart.
I am using the following assemblies for formatting the Presentation
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint Version: 12.0.0.0
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Graph Version: 12.0.0.0
Requirement is to apply some styles like Legend location, color, font etc to the Chart exists in the presentation.
I am able to verify the Shape like
shape.HasChart == MsoTriState.msoTrue
But not able to get the Chart object out of the shape
Tried the following code, but received OLEFormat exception
Graph.Chart chart = (Graph.Chart)shape.OLEFormat.Object
Thanks in advance for your help.
Resolved the issue by selecting correct reference from the COM tab.

I know you are asking from (rather) .NET point of view but I'll show you some code from VBA PowerPoint. My goal is to show you object hierarchy. I believe it would be helpful enough for you to solve your problem.
Sub Chart_Elements()
Dim CHRT As Chart
'first shape in the 1st slide is chart
Set CHRT = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).Chart
With CHRT
'to set legend position
.Legend.Position = xlLegendPositionBottom
'to set size of 1st entry in legend
.Legend.LegendEntries(1).Font.Size = 10
'and so on
End With
End Sub

I have a reporting system where occasionally there will be multiple JasperReports in a row (e.g. a regular report, and an index report at the end). If the regular report is 21 pages long, then I need the subsequent report to start on page 22.
Is there a simple way to tell a JasperReport what page number to start on? I can do this in a roundabout way, but I feel like I am overlooking something simple. Google and Bing searches have not yielded any answers for me. Thanks for any help you can offer.
No, there's no feature to say, "Start on page N."
But it doesn't seem that it would be too roundabout to just add a parameter $P{FirstPageNumber}. Then in the field where you would normally use the expression $V{PAGE_NUMBER}, you would instead use $V{PAGE_NUMBER} + $P{FirstPageNumber}.
use "Page "+ $V{PAGE_NUMBER}.lowestOneBit( 1 )
I have a line chart in a report (rdlc), that I cannot get formatted correctly. There are 2 main things I am trying to accomplish.
1) The x-axis is a date, right now it is being displayed as the full date with time, and I want it to be displayed as mm/dd/yyyy. I have attempted to change this by using =FormateDateTime(Fields!EndDate.Value, DateFormat.ShortDate) This is exactly how I saw it in Microsoft's examples, even the one included in VS2008 (what I am using), but for some reason it says that .ShortDate is and unrecognized identifier. I am thinking this might be a bug. So any ideas on how to get it into the mm/dd/yyyy format?
2) I want the values that are being plotted not to be there actual value but the previous values before added to the value. This is to accomplish a continual upward slope, showing the totals. I would also like to filter out zero's since the first 20 entries are so are 0. When I try to use the filter option it for some reason makes the chart just a flat line.
Any suggestions to any of these problems or a link to a good tutorial would be great as I am new to using these reports. Thanks!
Update: I have accomplished these by applying changes to the actual data being supplied, I would still like to know an easier better way to do this.
You can format the date in the lable under the general tab like this.
=Format(Fields!POWDate.Value, "M/dd/yyyy")
As of now I have fixed the problem by formating the data in the SQL query to the way I would like it to be displayed in the report.
