SSRS chart does not show all labels on Horizontal axis

Question

My SSRS report does not show all the labels on the horizontal axis  Please see below      Note how the red arrows point to the few that do show  So my question is  where are the rest of the labels  Each bar should have one    For the chart I m adding number data for the bars  and another field for the Category Groups  That field in Category Group is for the labels   Does anyone know why some are missing   Also  a second but less important question  why is the order of the bars not the same order as the dataset

Really late reply for me  but I just suffered the pain of this problem as well   What fixed it for me  after trying the Axis label settings and intervals from those screens  none of which worked   was select the Horizontal Axis  then when you can see all the properties find Labels  and change LabelInterval to 1   For some reason when I set this from the pop up properties screens it either never  stuck  or it changes a slightly different value that didn t fix my issue

It looks as though the horizontal axis  Category Group  labels have very long values - there may not be room to display them all  I suggest changing the labels to have shorter values   You can set the sort order for the Category Groups in the Category Group Properties - Sorting section - this may have been previously set  if not  I suggest using this to sort as desired

Three years late     but I believe the answer to your second question is that SSRS essentially treats data from your datasets as unsorted  I m not sure if it ignores any ORDER BY in the sql  or if it just assumes the data is unsorted   To sort your groups in a particular order  you need to specify it in the report    Select the chart  In the Chart Data popup window  where you specify the Category Groups   right-click your Group and click Category Group Properties  Click on the Sorting option to see a control to set the Sort order   For the report I just created  the default sort order on the category was alphabetic on the category group which was basically a string code   But sometimes it can be useful to sort by some other characteristic of the data  for example  my report is of Average and Maximum processing times for messages identified by some code  the category   By setting the sort order of the group to be on  MaxElapsedMs   Z- A it draws my attention to the worst-performing message-types     This sort of presentation won t be useful for every report but it can be an excellent tool to guide readers to have a better understanding of the data  though on other occasions you might prefer a report to have the same ordering every time it runs  in which case sorting on the category label itself may be best    and I guess there are circumstances where changing the sort order could harm understanding  such as if the categories implied some sort of ordering  such as date values

The problem here is that if there are too many data bars the labels will not show   To fix this  under the  Chart Axis  properties set the Interval value to   1   Then all the labels will be shown
