Say I have data with points for Month to Date sales and total monthly sales last month....all by day.

I want a line graph of this that doesn't show a line at zero for days in the future for this month.

I'm going into such detail because just saying "where sales > 0" eliminates all the rows for the future, I want to show all of last years data.

Thanks!

I'm not a major user of graphs, but could you not do some fancy where total type processing by computing a value. That if it was in the past you wanted it, but if in the future no. Then do a where total test on the computed value.

I know the total... it's zero, that's the problem.

I can't exclude all the records that have a zero value, I just want keep them from drawing a zero line on my line graph.

I think I confused the issue, the where total would be on some value based on the dates you are using. Not on where total of a summed field is zero.

Does this run daily? Could you screen out on the date?

Jason

did you download the manual for graphs?

it gives you examples of all kind of settings.
look at the ibi website.

quote:
How Missing Data Is Handled
By default, the following rules govern how missing data points are handled:
1. When a data point is part of a cumulative total (stacked or percent bar, line, area, pie
slice), it is interpreted as 0.0.
2. When a data point is used with neighboring points to define a line segment or surface
(3D connected, 3D surface, 2D line, 2D area), it is interpreted as 0.0.
3. Otherwise (2D side-by-side bar, 3D riser, 3D floating, 2D and 3D scatter, stock graphs,
spectral map, histogram), the (missing) point will not be plotted.
The FillMissingData and NumMissingDataSegments properties can be used to override
these rules and define how missing data points are handled.

thanks again prarie, but didn't work either.

These ARE zero values, not nulls...that's why I've got the problem. A null is a missing value, a zero is not missing, it's zero.

How can the value for days in the future be 0, it should be missing data....
I wonder if you can change that in the master, or in else in the define (MISSING=ON)

When data points are missing from a data set, the "FillMissingData" property defines how the missing data is handled.
If doing manually the Syntax is:
setFillMissingData(value);
value = getFillMissingData();
where:
value
Can be one of the following:
0 skips missing data. 0 is the default value.
1 sets missing data to zero.
2 interpolates.

If you're doing this in Dev Studio go to the Line Graph Properties tab --> Missing Values Display --> drop down list, to select the appropriate choice.

Jason,

Also checkout the VZERO setting within Graphstyle.

There have been releases where the VZERO didn't work correctly (at all!!) so be aware of that. I seem to remember 5.2.3 was one of the ones where it didn't funtion.

The other thing to be aware of is that you might need to combine it with the item that Alex has mentioned above.
