Fixed tablix or chart width in SSRS

I have a chart that sometimes has 5 columns, sometimes has 4. However, I want it to be the same width everytime (and just scale appropriately). Currently the chart is embedded in a tablix cell.

Can I set the width of the tablix or (probably more importantly) the chart so that it stays the same size regardless of 4/5 columns?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, you can't do this in SSRS. The width of tables, charts, and columns cannot be dynamically set. By design, paginated reports are meant to grow downwards as opposed to horizontally so that's the rationale behind it.

    Edit: Charts do have the DynamicWidth property you can set, but tables and textboxes don't.
