Bar charts are great at showing comparisons, but SSRS doesn’t always put the numbers where your readers actually want them—right at the end of each bar. If you’ve ever squinted at labels buried inside a narrow bar or lost them in a sea of color, you’re not alone. In this article, I’ll walk through the simple tweak that moves your data labels to the bar’s edge, making your charts clearer, cleaner, and far more readable for the people who depend on them.
