The Problem

You have a stored procedure that returns the number of products you sold each day from a given date 'til today. You want to allow the user to pick the given date. You're a nice person and figure that you'll make the users' lives easier by showing the data in a nice little graph instead of just dumping the information in an ugly table. But you don't want to spend a lot of time doing this. Oh, and you have to use .NET's Reporting Services because, umm, you have to. ####The Solution

Assuming you already have a shared data source and data set configured and the stored procedure all working:

Drop a chart onto the page from the Toolbox.

Drop the x-axis category (probably the date) into the box below the chart that says "Drop category fields here" and drop your data fields (number of products sold each day, for example) into the box above the chart that says "Drop data fields here."

And that's pretty much it for creating the chart. To allow the user to pick the date: right-click on the document ("document" as in "not the page" as in "the yellow thing and not the white thing") and select "Report Parameters" and enter the name (same as the parameter in the stored procedure), the data type, and the label and that pretty much is it. Go to the "Preview" section and see your chart.
