Display data point labels outside a pie chart in a paginated report (Report Builder)

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

In paginated reports, pie chart labeling is optimized to display labels on only several slices of data. Labels may overlap if the pie chart contains too many slices. One solution is to display the labels outside the pie chart, which may create more room for longer data labels. If you find that your labels still overlap, you can create more space for them by enabling 3D. This reduces the diameter of the pie chart, creating more space around the chart.

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 display data point labels inside a pie chart

  1. Add a pie chart to your report. For more information, see Add a Chart to a Report (Report Builder and SSRS).

  4. If you want the chart to have more room for labels but still appear two-dimensional, set the Rotation and Inclination properties to 0.
