Re: Display 'N/A' for null values

[User (Legacy)]

We don't want to 'hide' the marker, we want to display 'N/A', so the user

knows that they haven't entered a value there. That there is NOT a value

there, but should be.

Thank You for your reesponse,

Chris

When a NULL value is read from a database we replace it with a

predefined value (CHART_HIDDEN) that should make chart "hide" the

marker.

Subject: Re: Display 'N/A' for null values

You may be asking' Why not just return 'N/A' from your query?

ChartFX is expecting a numeric, and gives an error if the result is a

character.
