Showing
Missing Values

By default, Tableau draws line charts by connecting the labels closest to each other. Due to this approach, days with missing sales are not visible. "Show missing values" helps to see only actual data.

How do showing missing values help?

  • By displaying missing values, it helps to understand the data set better and improve the accuracy of the visualizations. Showing missing values in data visualization helps to identify any gaps in data that should be filled in or further inspected.
  • It can also help to reveal patterns or inconsistencies in the data that would otherwise be difficult to detect.

  • Additionally, it can help to identify any outliers or anomalies that may be present in the data.
