I am trying to figure out how to create a histogram chart report in SSRS 2008. According to Books Online, you use the Column chart type and change a property called ShowAs to make it function like a histogram chart. The problem is, I can't find that property anywhere. I'm assuming that the "Built-In" support for histogram and pareto charts means you don't have to code the data for them. Maybe I'm wrong. Can anyone please give some instructions or examples of creating the histogram chart in SSRS 2008. Thanks!

I finally figured it out! Wow! I can't believe the lack of documentation for this.
BOL says that you just change the ShowAs property to Histogram. Doesn't say where that property exists. Well, that's because it doesn't exist. The property is called ShowColumnAs and it's located in the CustomAttributes of the Data Fields Chart Series properties for a column chart.

Hi,
I too struggled to find this property, so i sympathise with your struggle!
My query moves a step further. Can you tell me if you were able to add a bell/normal curve to the histogram in question?
I am struggling to find any documentation on how to display this type of curve on the same histogram chart.
Thanks in advance

I haven't tried to do anything like that, yet. The only idea I can think of is to add another series to the chart with "made up" data to produce the "normal" curve.
Kind of hokie, but it would probably work.

I agree but i'm struggling to find the right code!
Oh well; i'll keep searching.
Thanks for replying.
