title: Tablix Matrix - Chart Spanning Multiple Rows
body: <p>I'm using a SSRS 2008 R2 Tablix control to display a matrix. Columns display date groupings (e.g. year, quarter). Each row displays a statistic about a particular item. Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>      2010                    2011
        Q1    Q2    Q3    Q4    Q1
  ABC   25    16    81    12    13
  DFF    8    -2    11    10    19
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to display a per-item graph giving a visual representation of the numerical statics. Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>      2010                    2011
        Q1    Q2    Q3    Q4    Q1
  ABC   25    16    81    12    13
        { chart for item ABC goes here and spans across all date rows }
  DFF    8    -2    11    10    19
        { chart for item DFF goes here and spans across all date rows }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way for me to insert a chart control so that it spans the date grouping columns? Is there another way I could achieve a similar effect?</p>
