Is there a way to hold across columns static?

For example, I've got 5 specific values that I want to always appear as the ACROSS fields, with locations as the primary BY field. Right now, if we don't have data value for 1 of the 5 ACROSS columns for a location, that ACROSS column does not appear on the report, which changes the overall structure of the report. Is there a way to keep the across values static, filling in zeros/blanks/etc for missing values?

Directly from manual:

ACROSS sortfield COLUMNS value1 AND value2 AND value3 AND value4 AND value5

Dang. I knew there had to be a way.

Sadly, I've even used this technique before when building a line graph; I never thought to use it here.

Thanks!

Hi,
Sometimes the use of ACROSS can be problematic, for instance if you have SUBFOOTS where you want to show subtotals of specific columns only. You can then use a set of DEFINE fields.
Suppose that the field you want to sum ACROSS is called SALES with format I5 and the sort field is called SEATS:
  
DEFINE FILE ...
SALES2/I5 = IF SEATS EQ 2 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
SALES4/I5 = IF SEATS EQ 4 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
SALES5/I5 = IF SEATS EQ 5 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
SALES7/I5 = IF SEATS EQ 7 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
SALES9/I5 = IF SEATS EQ 9 THEN SALES ELSE 0;
END
TABLE FILE ...
SUM SALES2 SALES4 SALES5 SALES7 SALES9
BY ...
WHERE ...
END
