Hi , Reading your complete explanation, please follow the steps to create a desired output. 1. Create group based on the Store id 2. inside group header place the bar chart, and go the properties of the chart and in the tab chart plot you can find the property Orientation and set it to Horizontal 3. In the chart have two series, Bathroom and Kitchen, of which you have values directly so the plot can be directly created. 4. The format which you have created in the jrxml you can directly paste that into your detail band. So in this way each record of your query will be acting as one group. Hope that this helps. Cheers!!
