Surface Charting functionality is not present in the standard Microsoft charting for SQL Server Reporting Services. In fact users can find it difficult to obtain such functionality also in most of the 3rd party add-ins offered on the market today. The newly released Nevron Chart for SQL Server Reporting Services offers this charting type and its subtypes – Grid, Mesh and Triangulated surface charts.
Multiple series are not suppored by surface charts. That is why only one series is created which takes the properties of the first values data grouping displayed in the Surface Chart chart area. Additional series append values to this series (in the case of a Mesh Surface) or add depth to the surface grid (in the case of Grid Surface). Surface charts are only displayed in 3D.
