Normal Columns when 2nd Set Not Present

[amwaySteve]

Hi,

I am making a chart that will be updated on a monthly basis and is a comparison to last year's information. I'm going to use pictures to help. This picture (for 1 year) is the ideal width of the columns:

But when I add just one column of the following year, ALL the columns shrink in width:

Is there anyway to have Jan look like it does in the second, but have the rest of the months look like they do in the first chart?

Thanks for your help,

Steve

Steve,

 

 

 

You can use the MSColumn3D.swf chart and provide 2 sets of data for Jan. For other months, you can set empty data elements as explained at http://www.fusioncharts.com/docs/Contents/DiscData.html

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I use this xml I get the same result as the second chart above. I am using MSColumn3D as you suggested.

<dataSet seriesName='XXXXXX' color='BBE0E3'>
<set value='XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value='XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
</dataSet>
<dataSet seriesName='XXXXXX' color='FF8040'>
<set value=XXXXXXXX.0000'/>
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
<set label='a' />
</dataSet>

I have also tried

<set /> and <set value='' />

and had no luck.

I appreciate Any Help.

I misunderstood your first post. If any of the column in MSColumn3D chart is missing, the other column does NOT acquire the empty space - and this is intentionally shown as missing data.
