Question

Real Date Axis in reports


Badge
When running a report with a date field for the X-axis, the data needs to be properly spaced along the axis. A key benefit of that report is to let the distance between data points indicate elapsed time. But I'm seeing 4 days between dates look exactly like 40 days between dates.



There are times when the underlying data can be filled in so that the chart effectively looks "right" (i.e. put in a 0 value with the right attributes for the days with no value) but that doesn't always work.



I think I remember an earlier conversation about this topic, but I can't find it. Sorry if I'm duplicating -- if anyone knows of the other thread I'll move this there!

Hi Jeff, is this the one you had in mind? https://community.gainsight.com/gainsight/topics/sparse-function-in-mda-for-nulls

It wasn't (never saw that one that I recall) but that's definitely the right point and I can shift my discussion of this over there!
