Chart of Time, include missing dates

[Indy]

Hi

I am using the asp.net charting control.  I am plotting data over time, sometimes over days, weeks, months and years.  I would like th X axis (which shows time) on the graph to be sequential even if the data is not.  eg, if a week/month/year is missing it will plot a the item on the X axis but not have a value (hope that makes sense).  So effectively the chart looks like a timeline of data, the gaps shows missing data

 

Is this possible with the chart control?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Indy,

You can control the labels appearance of the XAxis by setting the step between the date. For example, you can have a similar setup:

        <telerik:RadHtmlChart runat="server" ID="RadHtmlChart1" Width="640px" Height="480px">
            <PlotArea>
                <Series>
                    <telerik:ColumnSeries DataFieldY="SellQuantity" >
                    </telerik:ColumnSeries>
                </Series>
                <XAxis BaseUnit="days" MinDateValue="05/10/2020" Step="1" Type="Date" DataLabelsField="SellDate"
                    EnableBaseUnitStepAuto="false" >
                    <LabelsAppearance DataFormatString="d" RotationAngle="45">
                    </LabelsAppearance>
                </XAxis>
                <YAxis>
                    <TitleAppearance Text="Quantity">
                    </TitleAppearance>
                    <MajorGridLines Color="#EFEFEF" Width="1"></MajorGridLines>
                    <MinorGridLines Color="#F7F7F7" Width="1"></MinorGridLines>
                </YAxis>
            </PlotArea>
            <ChartTitle Text="Sold Cars per Date">
            </ChartTitle>
        </telerik:RadHtmlChart>

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadHtmlChart1.DataSource = GetData();
        RadHtmlChart1.DataBind();
    }

    protected DataTable GetData()
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();

        dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("SellQuantity", typeof(int));
        dt.Columns.Add("SellDate", typeof(DateTime));

        dt.Rows.Add(1, 2, new DateTime(2020, 05, 10));
        dt.Rows.Add(2, 5, new DateTime(2020, 05, 14));
        dt.Rows.Add(3, 6, new DateTime(2020, 05, 22));

        return dt;
    }
