Is there some property that i need to set inorder to be able to set the Bar Label Style property. In some charts i get the option under Custom Attributes but in some i dont. The Label position also doesnt work for me. I want my labels to appear on top of a Bar Chart. I've tried Auto and Outside but to not avail. It keeps appearing in the center of the bar and is unreadable when the bar is very small.Nelton D'Souza MS BI Developer

Hi Nelton D’Souza, For the first matter here, when clicked chart series, we have CustomAttributes and Label properties in properties pane. The Label property is used to format the series label itself, and CustomAttributes is used to format the series bar. So, if we want to display labels at a specific position, we used to set BarLabelStyple in CustomAttributes category. Then, set BarLableStyle to Outside to have a test. When previewing, the labels are placed outside of the bar, as long as it fits in the chart area. For those labels with a too long bar, they will be placed inside the bar at the position closest to the end of the bar automatically. For those labels with a very small bar, as I tested, no matter what you have set, they will always be placed outside the bar. If there is a need to place add labels outside, as a workaround, please refer to the similar thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/sqlreportingservices/thread/75cd850f-de2d-46fb-9a4c-1d286d50a873.
