Add or Remove Margins from a Chart (Report Builder and SSRS)
In Column and Scatter chart types, 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
