In the graphic below, you'll see I have a gap in months between April and September. I understand the technical reason for the gap, that is to say there is no reportable data during these "missing" months.
From a user experience standpoint, it could appear at first to be consecutive, sequential months and therefore misinterpreted.
(This visualization is a simple dataset joined with a date table.) Imagine that the graphic is "Units Sold" by Month" to carry the conversation.
Is there a way to condition the x axis to represent the missing months, display them with a "0", so that it could avoid the misinterpretation of the data viz?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing some creative solutions.
click drop arrow next to field x axis and select "show data with no value" i guess that will do it. it will not show zero but it will put month in there.
