I am sorry but I cannot recreate the problem using the CARS file.

For some reason, I am getting 2 graphs when I don't have a BY field. It graphs the 1st category with the rest of the categories as nulls (y-axis = 0) and then it creates another graph with the 1st category values having nulls and then the rest of the categories being okay. It is super wierd.

Okay, so this is the gist of the program... I have 2 tables that I join together. The first table contains data on certain dates. But, since I want to graph ALL dates regardless of whether it has data or not, I joined it with another table that has all the date categories. I made sure ALL is set to PASS and I have a Left-Outer join on the category table.

So then I create a stacked bar graph. The y-axis is a count of the number of records in the data table for each date category. It should be 0 when null.

Here's my code:

SET ALL=PASS
JOIN LEFT_OUTER PRD_START_DATE IN HOLDCAL TO ALL PRD_START_DATE IN HOLDMET AS J0
END
-RUN

DEFINE FILE HOLDCAL
WEEKNO/I2=HPART(PRD_START_DATE, 'WEEK', WEEKNO);
PRDSTART/A20=HCNVRT(PRD_START_DATE,'(HYYMDS)',20,'A20');
PRDSTXT/A10=SUBSTR(20,PRDSTART,1,10,10,PRDSTXT);
WEEKLBL/A30='Week ' | EDIT(WEEKNO) | ' ' | EDIT(PRDSTXT,'$$$$$999') | EDIT(PRDSTXT,'$$$$$$$$99') | '/' | EDIT(PRDSTXT,'$$99');
ONTIME/I5=IF HDIFF(DATE_CLOSED, DUE_DATE, 'DAY', 'D12') GT 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1;
LATE/I5=IF HDIFF(DATE_CLOSED, DUE_DATE, 'DAY', 'D12') GT 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0;
END

Any ideas?

Check out: GRMERGE

Yes, I know about GRMERGE...

BUT, I am not supposed to get two graphs because I don't have any BY fields!

There is something wierd about this and I can't figure out what could possibly cause 2 graphs to get created when you don't have a BY field...

Just a thought....

If you TABLE and HOLD the data before graphing, does it work.

May be something with the GRAPH command, and the join.

Pure guess only.

Yes, I can table and hold the data and it comes out exactly as I expect.

I even have an Excel Output format option that feeds the data to an Excel spreadsheet and an Excel macro runs on worksheet_open that builds the chart in Excel. That works perfectly fine too.
