  • Article

Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Report Builder (SSRS) ✅ Power BI Report Builder ✅ Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools

For Column and Scatter chart types in paginated reports, the chart automatically adds side margins on the ends of the x-axis. In Bar chart types, the chart automatically adds side margins on the ends of the y-axis. In all other chart types, the chart does not add side margins. You cannot change the size of the margin.

This topic does not apply to pie, doughnut, funnel, or pyramid chart types.

Note

You can create and modify paginated report definition (.rdl) files in Microsoft Report Builder, Power BI Report Builder, and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools.

To enable or disable side margins

  1. Right-click the axis and select Axis Properties. The Vertical or HorizontalAxis Properties dialog box appears.

  2. On the Axis Options page, set the Side margins property:

    • Auto The chart will determine whether to add a side margin based on the chart type.

    • Disabled Bar, column, and scatter charts will have no side margins.

  3. Select OK.
