I'm using a categorical x-axis for a simple column chart. In this case, it's important for me to always show all categories - to show those categories with blank (or 0 value). The problem is that the categories without any values are hidden by default and there seems to be no easy way to prevent it from happening.
Is there a good solution for this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
A workaround I just found was to create a Measure that returns 0 if blank for the value, like this:
IF(ISBLANK(value); 0; value)
However, the same method does not seem to work for regular/calculated columns.
Please let me know if there are other ways though.

On the visualisations pane, once a field is dropped into the axis section there is a small downwards arrow. Click this and the option is near the bottom of that list.
You are the best 🙂
Ah, I had totally missed that option. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
