How to show blank dataset on graph

[system]

Hi,

I have a query which returns all events within the last 8 weeks. This data is displayed on a bar chart. If one week has no records it is automatically not shown on the chart. Is there anyway of showing this week and having the data value show as 0. Basically, I always want to see 8 weeks on the chart.

Regards

Chris

=If(IsNull([Object])) Then "0" Else [Object]

Use this variable for the graph.
