Paginated Report Builder Line Chart Showing Displaying Value For Empty Data Points

Hi All,

 

I am using the new paginated report builder and wonder if anyone knows how does the line chart handles empty values in the data?

My line chart has a region where we don't have any data, so ideally it should just go to zero/show an empty space. However, it is connecting the two adjacent data points and create a line as if it changes constantly over that period of time. See attached.

Thanks in advance,

JC

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Setting the X-axis to Categorical should help you.

Forgot to add that I have googled this and tried several ways people suggested, including:

- Changing the value of the series to an expression where it shows 0/nothing if it IsNothing

- Changing the color of the series using an expression where it shows no colour if value of the series IsNothing

- Setting the EmptyPoint Value = Zero and changing the properties of the empty point in the Properties pane. 

 

None of the above work. Does anyone have a clue?
