Enable Exact Data Visualization Fit Sizing for Reports

Configure data visualization fit behavior when inside a tablix, to fix exactly. This includes chart, gauge, and map. When disabled the behavior is for data visualizations to fit approximately, which may leave some white space. This setting only applies to rendering in the report viewer web part. To manage this behavior for server side rendering you need to modify the rsreportserver.config file. For more information, see the following:

RSReportServer Configuration File.

Customize Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config.

Enabling Exact may have performance impact because the processing to determine the exact size may take longer than an approximate fit.
