I have a Line Graph with 2 series.  One is the actual value and one is the target value so someone can easily see how far off their target they are.

I want to be able to toggle the visibility of the Target series with a Boolean parameter.  It would be similar to setting a binding.

When Parameter A is true, set visibility of series A to true.  When Parameter A is false, set visibility of parameter A to false.

I am having trouble finding where I can add a binding on the visibility of my line series.  Is this possible?

Thanks,

Phillip

Hi Phillip,

The recommended approach is to apply a filter removing the records of SeriesA depending on the boolean report parameter - Filtering Data.

For example, check the attached TRDP file in the Standalone Report Designer of Telerik Reporting R3 2016. filters are applied in the Graph.SeriesGroups.Filters collection.

Well the problem with that approach is that I have a table that shows the data as well.  If I filter the data so the line won't show on the graph, won't the data not show up in the table as well?

I was just looking for a way to set visibility on the line to false but still be able to see the data.  Is that not possible at this point?

In the meantime, I have been looking at the filtering.  Since I have 3 series in one graph, Im not sure what syntax I should use for the filter if I only want to hide one of the series on the graph.  Could you provide an example syntax?  (Fields.Target = Fields.Target)  Or If this uses a boolean parameter (If Parameter.Visible = True)?

I actually think I figured this out.  In case anyone has the same problem:

I put conditional formatting on the series item and the datapoint item for that series.  I created a parameter called 'HideXXX'.  If this parameter is true, then the size of the line and datapoint are 0px and the color is clear.  This way, you can see through to any other series you have behind the hidden one.

Thanks,

Phillip

Hello Philip,

Thank you for this update. Indeed series, data points, data point labels, series legend items have conditional formatting properties allowing you to use the graph's data to control the displayed content.

Rules can be based on fields, report parameters and other custom expressions.
