Hiding Zeros in a Chart

Hide zeros in a chart.

Context

As a story editor, you may not want to show zero values in a chart when working on SAP BW, or SAP HANA live or acquired analytic or planning models.
Note

Unbooked Data and Zero Suppression are mutually exclusive, meaning that both options can't be applied at the same time. If you select Zero Suppression while Unbooked Data is already selected, a message appears informing you of this, and asking you if you want to turn off Unbooked Data. Once you select OK, the Zero Suppression option is applied to the chart.

Procedure

  1. Create a chart and add measures and dimensions to it.
  2. In the Builder, select a dimension, then select Start of the navigation path (More) Next navigation step Zero SuppressionEnd of the navigation path.

    Zero values are no longer shown in your chart.

  3. To show zero values in your chart again, in the Builder select a dimension that has zero suppression switched on. Select Start of the navigation path (More) Next navigation step Zero SuppressionEnd of the navigation path.

    The chart is updated to show zero values.
