SSRS 3-D Clustered Bar Chart

This SSRS article shows how to create a 3-D Clustered Bar Chart, add Data Labels, and format it with an example. To demonstrate this example, right-click on the Datasets folder to create a new DataSet.

The below screenshot shows the data set that we use for this example.

The Sql query that we used above SSRS example is:

SELECT Geo.[EnglishCountryRegionName] AS [Country]
	,Cust.EnglishEducation AS Education
	,SUM(Fact.SalesAmount) AS Sales
FROM  DimCustomer AS Cust
INNER JOIN FactInternetSales AS Fact ON Cust.CustomerKey = Fact.CustomerKey
INNER JOIN [DimGeography] AS Geo ON Cust.GeographyKey = Geo.GeographyKey
GROUP BY Geo.[EnglishCountryRegionName],Cust.EnglishEducation
