A SSRS2005 scatter chart was upgraded to SSRS2012. Upon execution, all points are shown over a common x-axis position, randomly far right or far left.

The issue:
* In the Chart Data pop-up, the "Category Groups" in the OLD rdl was empty. This is OK as it can be omitted.
* It appears that SSRS2012 REQUIRES "something" in the Category Groups, and thankfully, perhaps because someone realized they needed it for "backward compatibility", there's a "Use Details" option.
* Choose this and the scatter chart works...

Request:
* When the conversion code detects an EMPTY Category Group, plug in the "Use Details" choice AUTOMATICALLY.

Thanks.

Create a scatter chart in SSRS 2005 that has x-axis and data points but NO Category Group.

Upgrade it in Data Tools and Deploy.

If you look at the chart in the designer, you won't see any "sample points" scattered over the canvas.

When you run the chart in the NATIVE SERVICE, all data points stack vertically.

Change to add the "Use Details" and immediately the designer shows scattered points. Deploy and execute.

See above, please - easier to combine steps to reproduce with what you see at each stage.

This isn't a "workaround" - it's a "do this to fix"...

As stated in the request, visit the Data Area dialog.
Notice whether the "Category Group" is empty.
If empty, click the green-plus and choose the last option, "Use Details".
