I have created a a range chart in the Visual Studio for SSRS 2008 R2, and to this I added a median line. However, the SSRS will happily ignore any formatting I set for this median line UNLESS the same setting for the range formatting is set to none/automatic. So it will inherit the range's color, marker, and size. For reference:
Note the faint, long line along the top (very hard to see) that is the same color as the range. I added a Moving Average (dark blue) line as well to show that it's not just using a calculated series that is the problem.
Here I've set the range to "Automatic", which means that the line takes the red color I set it to, but still doesn't take on the desired thickness. (I set the Median line to Red here for better contrast.)
And this is what I'm trying to accomplish. (Not the desired final color/width, but this shows the difference between settings and what is created.)
Is there any way to get the calculated line to stop inheriting the range's settings? I did find this, but the work-around listed there is not working for me. If not, is there a way I can calculate the median using my own line, rather than a calculated series?
