Formatting a Chart (Report Builder)

Ideally, your report readers should be able to read a chart and understand the meaning of the data quickly. To help readers understand the contents of your chart, you can format all the elements that comprise the chart. For example, you can change the size of the chart, the appearance of the data series, the length and color of the axes, or the font used in the legend.
