Tricky gauge layout

[rjoubert]

I am designing a report in CR XI Developer edition. One section of this report has a number of gauge charts. There is one gauge per project record (up to a max of 7), and there is a multi-value parameter passed in that lists the project IDs for which to create gauges. My customer wants this section to be arranged such that the 1st gauge is alone on the 1st line and centered, then gauges 2 & 3 are on the 2nd line, 4th gauge is on the 3rd line and centered, gauges 5 & 6 are on the 4th line, and the last gauge is on the 5th line and centered. Since I only have 1 gauge chart (for each Project ID, it is charting a calculated value), I can't move the 7 possible gauges around the report. Is there something I can do in the design of the chart, or possibly something with a multi-column layout, that would help me to achieve this layout?

Have you tried using subreports for each guagge?

Works great for me in creating multiple charts on a page.

I wanted to avoid having to do that since the user selects the projects for which to create a gauge. I don't want to hard code the project id values behind each gauge. Plus, they can select any number of projects from 1 to 7.
