SSRS Chart. How to plot line to decrease totals by date

Question

I have a chart in SSRS that has dollar totals by date. I would like a line chart that starts with the total dollars and then decreases the total by date until it gets to zero. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Create a Line Chart

In "Chart Data" add the following expression to the "Values" part (with the green plus sign): "=RunningValue(Fields!colVal.Value,Sum,"DataSet1")" where colVal is the field that you want to sum up, and "DataSet1" is the scope

Then right click on the horizontal axis -> Properties -> Side Margin Disabled + Scale Options = Reverse Direction

Hope this helps!
