Hi Irshad,

The chart item in Telerik Reporting uses the engine of RadChart for ASP.NET AJAX which does not support such functionality. You can simulate it by following these key points:

• Populate the chart with negative values, this will affect the axis too - it will show negative values with 0 at the top.
• Set Custom Format Strings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx) to the property CustomFormat of the YAxis. What you need is the "##;##" custom format - this will suppress the "-" sign for negative values. You can set it like this:
  
  

  myRadChart.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "##;##";

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thanks Steve for the immediate response. I really appreciate.
I have another roadblock. I am using candle stick chart items in my application. In that chart, the candle stick needs to be shown as dashed line and anchors (arrow) on top and bottom ends. Please suggest some ideas.

Thanks,

Hi Irshad,

Unfortunately the chart item does not have such functionality and we cannot offer a workaround either.

All the best,
