Maintaining fixed structure in a pivot table

Hello, I have the following problem. I have a pivot table with two dimensions: Month and Recruit/Termination. The metric I use is the count of the number of employees being recruited/terminated for each month. Lets assume there is a couple of recruit categories: "Acquisitions" and "Normal Recruits", and a couple more termination types: "Separations", "Leavers" and "Transfers".

I would like QlikView to keep showing all those categories, even when no cases exist for some of them during a year. For example, for this year there were no terminations identified as "transfers". I need to see the "Transfers" category in the table, even when there will be only zeroes in the count for each month.

I understand that the structure of a pivot table is dinamically created, according to available data, so if no data is available for a specific category (for a specific termination or recruit category in our example) Qlikview will have no way to discover that particular category, just as the way a Pivot Table in Excel works.

Then, my question is:

  - Is there a way to force a particular structure in the pivot table, for example, forcing the "Transfers" category to show, or is there a better solution than using a pivot table?

I hope anyone can help me, regards!

To keep those Categories you can simply load them with null values for these months.
