Hello everybody, I have a single pie chart and have tried to pull out the biggest slice of the pie according to this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc627447.aspx. But I can’t manage to do this because there is no “Exploded” property among Chart Series -> Custom Attributes. What is wrong here? Could you please help me? I don't want to use the Exploded Pie Chart. I do only want to pull out a singe slice. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, As you posted, there exits some confusion of this topic. First, based on the document, it seems that the feature of exploding a single point on a Pie Chart only applies to Reporting Services 2008 (not R2). However, in Business Intelligence Development Studio of SQL Server 2008, there is no Exploded property under the CustomAttributes property of the chart. Instead, it is under the DataPoint\CustomAttributes property, and we specify expression to enable/disable this feature dynamically. So, it is my pleasure to help you reflect this issue to the proper department. You can submit this issue to http://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver/ to get an official confirmation. After that, please post the link back, and it would be helpful for other community with the same issue. We appreciate your understanding. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

In both Business Intellegence Studio and Report Builder 3.0 when you click CustomAttributes under DataPoint, Nothing expands out. Its just Gray, theres no way to set the exploded property or specify an expression to do this. PLEASE HELP. Thanks, Wes
