SSRS 3-D Clustered Cylinder Chart

This SSRS article shows how to create a 3-D Clustered Cylinder chart, show data labels, and format colors and fonts with an example. To demonstrate this example, right-click on the Datasets folder to create a new DataSet. Writing the below code inside the SSMS shows the data set that we use for this example.

The Sql query that we used in this SSRS example is:

SELECT Geo.[EnglishCountryRegionName] AS [Country]
,Cust.EnglishOccupation AS Occupation, 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.EnglishOccupation,
Cust.EnglishEducation
