    [CLOSED] Chart Bar with null values

    Hello everyone

    I build a bar chart and I have a problem with null values. If I send null values in the store, they are convert as 0. So, It'll be impossible to make the difference between null value (so no value available at all for this category) and when value = 0.

    I need this because my chart describes the consumption of differents city :
    • I have a bill with 0$ for the selected period, I need to show 0.
    • I have a no bill for the selected period, I need to show nothing, an empty place.


    Does anyone have an idea to do this?

    Hello,

    I cannot reproduce it testing with https://examples2.ext.net/#/Chart/Bar/Basic/

    Can you please provide a small code sample?

    In your example, there is values for each month.
    If you put "null" for a month as value, you'll see that you'll get a 0 value, not a hidden bar.

    Yes, actually the value will be shown as a bar labeled with null much like a zero value. But this does not mean the null value is converted to zero.

    So, if you do not want null data in the chart , why don't you filter them (i.e. remove them from the data set) before binding to the store?

    I use a datable to bind my store.
    So if I put nothing in field for a row, it'll be a "null" value.

    With a gridpanel store and the same datatable, null value stays null value but not with a chart store.

    I don't think there is a conversion from null to zero. It is just the chart component that renders null values the same way with zero values. What I meant, was to filter the data table before binding it to the store, which shouldn't be a problem to do in your code behind or you can even have the store filter null data:

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    
    <script runat="server">
        public class ChartData
        {
            public string Name
            {
                get;
                set;
            }
    
            public double? Data1
            {
                get;
                set;
            }
    
            public static List<ChartData> GenerateData()
            {
                return new List<ChartData>
                {
                    new ChartData {
                        Name = "City 1" ,
                        Data1 = 0
                    },
                    new ChartData {
                        Name = "City 2" ,
                        Data1 = 200
                    },
                    new ChartData {
                        Name = "City 3" ,
                        Data1 = 300
                    },
                    new ChartData {
                        Name = "City 4" ,
                        Data1 = null
                    }

            </ext:Panel>
        </form>  
    </body>
    </html>

    This record will not be in the chart:
    new ChartData {
        Name = "City 4" ,
        Data1 = null
    }

    Hope it helps.

    This not not exactly what I asked in the first message.

    I have different cities AND different periods (Data1 and Data2 for example for 2 periods).
    This is an example :

    <%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>

                        Data2 = 0
                    },
                    new ChartData {

                        Data1 = 200,

    you can see there is no difference betwenn the Data2 in City 1 and the Data1 in City 4, it displays a zero bar even if for City1 it is zero and for City 4 a null value.
    How can I hide the bar whith null value because if I want to read the store, both value are zero.

    Hi, yes, this should do:

    <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    
    <script runat="server">
        public class ChartData
        {
            public string Name

                get;
                set;
            }
    
            public double? Data1
            {
                get;
                set;
            }
    
            public double? Data2
            {
                get;
                set;
