Hi, Is it somehow possible to create a chart like that (the picture above) with SSRS (2008 R2) ? http://www.hichert.com/downloads/consulting/schaubilder/044_798.pdf i wanna see the differences from the previous year like in the first chart in that pdf (colored in red or green depeding on the sign) I tried a lot with stacked charts and i also found that approach very interesting: http://road-blogs.blogspot.com/2010/04/better-way-of-showing-current-year.html but i wasn't able to create a chart that looks like in the pdf above. Thanks for your help!

can nobody help me? the difficult thing is to make the upper bar thinner than the other one, so that it looks like in the picture.

Hi, I have checked the example report you posted. Currently, one possible workaround to achieve it is to use the Range Column chart type. For example, we can first add a series to the chart and set its type to Column. This series will be used to represent the profit of current year. Then, we can add another series to the same chart and set its type to Range Column. This series will be used to represent the profit difference. Please be aware we need to specify both Top and Bottom value of a range column chart. In order to make the range column thinner than the basic column, please set its CustomAttributes\PointWidth property less than 0.8.
