Hello Ashutosh,

I researched a lot in my side and did not find a way to create a step chart
directly using the Visual Studio ReportViewer control. This type of chart
is not available in Visual Studio at this time. And different from Excel,
we cannot use x y-errors bar to create it either. If the step chart is
really necessary, currently, I think the only possible workaround is
duplicating your data source. For example,

Store data
1 10
4 23
5 15
7 8
10 16
12 13

As
1 10
4 10
4 23
5 23
5 15
7 15
7 8
10 8
10 16
12 16
12 13

You can also submit a suggestion on this via
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio. Hopefully, the step chart will
be accessiable in future.
