Connect Null Points

In the latest version, 5.2.5, we have the ability to connect line breaks when there are nulls. When creating a line chart or combination chart, it is important to consider how to handle null points. Null points occur when there is missing data or when a value is not available for a specific point in time. One approach to handling null points is to connect them using a straight line. This can provide a visual representation of the data trend, even when there are gaps in the data. The “connect null points” option is a useful feature that allows users to connect a null object to a specific point in a series of objects or elements. These null points can be frustrating, as they create a visual break in the data and make it difficult to interpret the overall trend. Here, we will explore how to connect those null points in a line chart. By doing so, we can create a more seamless and accurate representation of the data, allowing us to better understand the underlying patterns and insights. So let’s dive in and discover how to bridge those gaps in your line charts.
