HI
I have noticed a problem with the Flash Line and Flash Line/Bar charts.

Nulls on the chart appear as zeros.

In my Budget v Actual report the actuals go steadily upwards and then come back down to 0 once we get into future dates, which doesn't quite look right. The Standard Line chart is correct, but doesn't look quite as impressive as the flash ones.

Cheers

Unfortunately this is a limitation of third party charting component (FusionCharts) ReportPortal is using.

Hi
I have a workaround which is to use the regular line chart, is it possible to get this one to do negatives? My purchases work fine with this method, but the redemptions won't display
Cheers

PS Also is it possible to set a ceiling for the flash line charts?

Hi
I was going to petition fusioncharts to add this capability, but then I saw this example on their website: http://www.infosoftglobal.com/FusionCharts/GalleryChart.asp?ChartId=23

Which has gaps in a line chart. Still really love your product, but would be great to get these Flash charts fixed up

Cheers

Not sure what an Alpha Attribute is, as I'm not a web programmer. From the link I saw a line graph with breaks in it, which is exactly what I'm after.

As an example of this problem: I've got a cumulative net sales vs budget graph where the budget stays quite low in the first half of the year then skyrockets in the second. The actual wanders around being positive and negative, before it goes back to zero (for the future dates which are in the second half). From first glance the graph shows a budget diverging massively from the actual and it looks very bad from a sales perspective. Ideally I would rather not have to explain to people how to interpret graphs.
