Hello,

I'm working on a line graph that has 'Missing' values for a couple of points in the X axis. I only want to connect points in the line which have a value other than 'Missing' but I still want the space to be there, basicly ignoring the 'Missing' points.

I can get the line to be plotted either showing the 'Missing' values as zeros or as blanks (not showing those points).

Reproduced for the CAR table:

 TABLE FILE CAR
SUM 
     CAR.BODY.SEATS
     CAR.BODY.SALES
  COMPUTE RC/P12 MISSING ON NEEDS SOME DATA = IF (SEATS GT 2) THEN 20 ELSE MISSING;
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY  CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD_1 FORMAT FOCUS
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Submitted a case with tech support, I'll update this when I find a solution.

Your code works perfecty OK in 7.7.03 -

Thanks for your response Tony.

The code runs fine but I want the points that refer to England and France to be connected, ignoring Italy (Missing).

Try this:

setFillMissingData(2);

setFillMissingData(2); would suit your purposes poviding you do not mind the line going down to zero for the last point in your example.

Basically, this setting connects points using "interpolation" of the "previous" and "following" values. As your last value is missing you have only the "previous" value not the "following" value and so the point result is zero.

This setting is within the documentation to which I pointed Frank in his post about AGA.

You beat me to it Dan!

@ Tony - I should probably buy a lotto ticket today.
