i have been trying to fix this issue from sometime. i also thread in below library.
appriciate your help on this.
I have used RadHtmlChartGroupDataSource class to group the data and display in report.I am having difficulties when series 0 has few records and another series has more records. in this case xaxis.DataLabelsField shows null here.
this is dynamic series and i use the above line of code in class file.
how can i manage to get the distinct list of all dynamic series and put as a label in chart.
hope the screenshot helps to understand the issue.
please refer the attachment.
originalDatasource.png - original format of data. you will see there is no null values associated
ChartdatainTable.png - sample data in pivot format.originally its not in pivot format and wherever you see null, those rows are not in db.
chartxaxislable_issue - some of the x-axis shows null, also if you notice march data is grouped with Jan/2016
