Show missing values as 0 in graph

Hi,

I have database table which has monthly customer values about sales, costs etc. For some customers there may be months that don't have data at all. In qlikview I create months and years as inline table and then select the monthly data from database there. Then I have line graph which shows sales, costs etc. for each selected month. The problem is that if I select customer which don't have data for all selected months then graph just don't show those months at all and I would like to display those month data as 0 in line graph.

Could anybody help? I have tried to put nulldisplay, left join, display missing and zero values etc. but I just can't get it working.

The script is like this at the moment (note that I have personal edition in use):

SET ThousandSep=' ';

SET DecimalSep=',';

SET MoneyThousandSep=' ';

SET MoneyDecimalSep=',';

SET MoneyFormat='# ##0,00 €;-# ##0,00 €';

SET TimeFormat='h:mm:ss';

SET DateFormat='D.M.YYYY';

SET TimestampFormat='D.M.YYYY h:mm:ss[.fff]';

SET MonthNames='tammi;helmi;maalis;huhti;touko;kesä;heinä;elo;syys;loka;marras;joulu';

SET DayNames='ma;ti;ke;to;pe;la;su';

set NullDisplay=0;

If (Sales=0, 0, ((MaterialCost)/Sales*100)) AS Mat%,

Hi.

If you don't have data in that points (so that tha nulls() are calculated, there are no such rows in your data),

you can't show it.

To show something you should either have it as data or calculate it synthetically (in this case it could be rather complex).

You need to set NullAsValue. (Default is NullAsNull)

NullAsValue *; //null as value for all fields

NullAsValue month; //null as value for the month field

Best regards

Hi,

Go to Chart properties -->Presentation tab -->Check the options Missing symbol and Null symbol provide the chars as you need.

Hi,

there's no missing or null symbol assignment in Presentation tab (see below)

I found those null and missing symbol setting in month and year listboxes and set them to 0 but it didn't work either.

And I added the NullAsValue *; and it didn't change anything. I also tried NullAsValue Month, Year; but no change.

It works like this I select month range and year and graph will show sales trend for that time range. If I select then customer which don't have data for all those months missing months get unselected from month range and that's why the graph only shows those months which have data (I think). So is there any way to prevent this happening?

Hi,

In chart

Select "Show All Values" for a dimension in Dimension tab.

UnSelect "Supress Zero Values" and "Supress Missing" in Presentation tab.

Check attached file for solution.

Jagan.

You checked this in Bar chart type it is available in tabular form charts (Straight table & pivot).

Hi,

you are absolutely correct. I realized just now that there's not even a null row for customer if it doesn't have data for the month.

I can't come up with any other solution but to create monthly rows in to the database for those customers that already in db and don't have data for the current month.

Thanks for helping me to understand this.
