Configuring the display of null values in a Yandex DataLens chart
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:
-
Click
in the top-right corner of the section with the measure you want to configure (the icon appears on hover). -
Set up the Null values option:
-
Hide: Do not show points with
nullvalues. 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.Example of a chart with a gap

Example of replacing null with 0

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.
