Working with Chart Data Regions

When you want to summarize data in a visual format, use the Chart data region. Charts enable you to present large volumes of aggregated information at a glance. It is important to carefully prepare and understand your data before you create a chart, as this will help you design your charts quickly and efficiently.

The following illustration shows many of the different elements used in the chart.

Major Grid Lines in BIDS?

MunLeeuw ... Thomas Lee | Edit | Show History

I'm converting Dundas RS 2005 charts to native RS 2008 charts. I want to show a major grid line, but I can't find any help topic for this, other than for Report Builder. This page claims that the chart has a major grid line in the display image, but I can't find the property, or any help topic.

[Tai Yee - MSFT] Hi, the best way to get questions answered is to post in the Microsoft Community Forum. The SQL Server Forums are located here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=19&SiteID=1. You may want to post this to the Reporting Services forum.
