SSRS Indicators to Behave Like Star Ratings
Hello, I am using SSRS (SQL Server 2008 R2) and want to show Start Rating (ex: 2 star Filled out of 5 stars = 2 Filled and 3 Empty or 2.5 filles and 2.5 empty) based on some numeric value similar to forums. I am using the Indicator control and using Type = 5 Stars Rating. How can I achive this using this control. Also I see one 3 star and and other 5 star rating type. Thanks, Prabhat

Hi Prabhat_IE, Thanks for the question. It is possible to achieve the target by using star ratings in indicator control. Paul Turley had ever handled one similar question, please refer to it: Star ratings in SSRS using indicators Also refer to the MSDN article about indicators control: Indicators (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS) Thanks, Sharp Wang Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help you and unmark them if they provide no help.

But the thread using images instead of Indicator control. Is there a way we can use Indicator for the same purpose? Also the links in that thread are dead http://www.sqlserverbiblog.com/2010/03/11/CreatingABusinessScorecard.aspx. And the MSDN article does have anythingto difference between 3 star and 5 star Ratings :(. Thank you for your reply. EDIT: on Bing I could get the link for above task by Paul Turley: http://sqlserverbiblog.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/creating-a-business-scorecard/ Will read this to understand.

Yes, Prabhat_IE. IF you didn't want to use images for an instead, we have to use the default Ratings patterns for the indicator control. For instance, I choose 5 stars in the Ratings patterns list. Then setting the suitable ranges for the states, just like the first screenshot, the effect is the second screenshot.
