Graph DateTime axis scaling with a Stand Alone Report Designer report

[James Glinsek]

I'm trying to accomplish what's been asked over in this question: https://www.telerik.com/forums/graph-datetime-axis-scaling without using Events (which according to the docs here: https://docs.telerik.com/reporting/embedding-reports/program-the-report-definition/report-events/overview, you should avoid and are not support on the .trdx reports that I am developing via the Stand Alone Report Designer). 

How can I dynamically set the MajorUnit and/or MajorStep as the final solution there describes without using the events as that solution does? (solution I'm referring to: https://www.telerik.com/forums/graph-datetime-axis-scaling#4445917 )

Hi James,

Thank you for reaching out. 

If you do not wish to use events to change the units/steps of the graph's axes, you can add bindings to the graph's coordinate system - Use Bindings to Control the Coordinate System Properties in the Graph Report Item - Telerik Reporting. 

I am sending you a sample report in which I made Binding in the CoordinateSystem property of the graph. The Binding looks like this:

= (Exec("graph1", Max(Fields.Date)) - Exec("graph1", Min(Fields.Date))).TotalDays > 31 ? "Months" : "Days"

I created 2 CSV data sources. If you switch them, you will see that csvDataSource1 changes the day, аnd csvDataSource2 changes the month.

More information about the functions that I used in the report you will find in the links below:

• Exec() - Data Functions at a Glance - Telerik Reporting
• Max() and Min() - Aggregate Functions at a Glance - Telerik Reporting
• DateTime Struct (System) | Microsoft Learn
• TimeSpan Struct (System) | Microsoft Learn

I hope the above information will be useful. Let me know if you have other questions.

Regards,
Ivet
