How to show pivot columns that have no values in any row

Hi all,

I have a matrix with sales data.  The pivot column can take on 21 different values which are the categories of the sales amounts.  I would like to show all the columns at all times.  In other words to show all the columns when no rows have sales in those categories.  How can that be done?

 

Thanks
