Null Behaviour

Define how to treat null or missing values in your chart with continuous time series, to fill in any gaps in time granularity. Time granularity refers to the date or timestamp unit of the chart (millisecond, second, minute, hours, day, week, month, quarter, or year). Options include:

  • Break: The line will simply not be displayed for any missing values, resulting in a visible break in the line chart where there is a time granularity gap.
  • Skip: The line is joined from the last available value with the next one, over the missing data points. The gaps are not filled in with any additional values, but rather skipped over.
  • Zero: The null values are treated as zero. This results in filling in the granularity gaps with the value zero. This will alter any calculations included in your data set.

Note: This functionality is provided for all variations of line charts that support continuous time series. Learn more about it here.

Fill in Granularity Gaps for Series

Enable or disable the Null Behaviour functionality on a continuous time series chart. If enabled, this option fills in the missing values based on the time granularity of the chart.

Fill in Granularity Gaps for TrendsEnable or disable the Null Behaviour functionality for trends lines. If enabled, this fills in the missing values in a trend line (for e.g. when a 20709964 Chart Formatting such as mean, or trend is applied) based on the time granularity of the chart.
Limit Treemap Values by AmountDefine whether or not to set a limit on the number of squares generated in a Treemap chart. Users can specify a maximum number of squares; all other values will be summed together in a separate ‘Other’ square. (Enabled by default.)
Note: Ensure that your metric has been included to the size field.
Treemap Limit Amount Specify how many squares are to be generated by the Treemap chart. (Default value is set to 1,000.)
Limit Treemap Values by Percentage Define whether or not to set a limit on the Treemap squares based on a specified percentage. Users can specify the percentage to be applied to the field’s total; values higher than the specified percentage will be displayed in separate squares, and the remaining (lower) values will be grouped into a single ‘Other’ square.
Treemap Limit Percentage

Select the percentage with which to limit the Treemap squares.

GIS Base Layer
