Hello,
I'm having problems with a stacked column chart. I get gaps in the column when there is an empty data point for one of the series. If I remove the series with empty data points or fill the gaps then there are no gaps. How can I remove the gaps without changing the data I want to display in the graph?
Thanks,

James

Insert empty points to the chart with the DataManipulator, for example:

Hi James,

I'm not sure what you mean by the gaps. If you went through the datapoints in the series and removed all the datapoints that were empty, would this make any difference in the appearance of your chart?

Also, if you are using X values for your data points, then I would expect the existance of the gaps to be logically correct. If you are not making use of the X values, you can try setting IsXValueIndexed of the series to True.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your response. The gaps do correspond to empty points. I have tried setting EmptyPointValue to zero, but this doesn't make any difference. Is there any way to get the empty points to be zero?
The points do have an X value.

Hi James,

I'm still having trouble visualizing what your chart currently looks like. Would it be possible for you to post a link to images showing what your chart currently looks like and how you want your chart to look?
