When you want to summarize data in a visual format, use the chart data region. Charts enable you to present large volumes of aggregated information at a glance. It is important to carefully prepare and understand your data before you create a chart, as this will help you design your charts quickly and efficiently. For more information, see Add a Chart to a Report (Report Builder and SSRS). To start to use a chart immediately, see the bar, column, sparkline, and pie chart tutorials in Tutorials (Report Builder) or the bar and pie chart tutorials in Reporting Services Tutorials (SSRS).
