Configuring the display of null values in a Yandex DataLens chart

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at December 1, 2025

Note

The setting is only available for charts that have at least one X or Y axis:

  • Line chart
  • Area chart (stacked and normalized).
  • Column chart (including normalized).
  • Bar chart (including normalized).
  • Scatter chart

If the source data includes a row where the measure value is null, the chart with default settings connects the neighboring points with values other than null with a line.

You can configure how the chart will display null values in the chart section settings:

  1. Click in the top-right corner of the section with the measure you want to configure (the icon appears on hover).

  2. Set up the Null values option:

    • Hide: Do not show points with null values. On the chart, it will appear as a line gap, skipped column or point. For example, the source has a row with a date (20.07.2022) but the sales total for it is not specified.

      23.07.2022 883208
      24.07.2022 2359483
      25.07.2022 1137851
    • Connect: Connect neighboring points with values other than null with a line.

    • Display as 0: Replace null values with 0.

  3. Click Apply.

If a row is missing from the source data altogether, the Null values option will not change the way the chart is presented. For example, if the source does not have a row with a particular date (20.07.2022), nothing will be shown for this date on the chart.

Note

To display a zero value for a date missing from the table:

1. Add a row with this date and null for value to the source.
2. In the chart settings for the relevant indicator, select Display as 0 for the Null values option.
