Hi,

I’m trying to create a line graph that connects a value to the next without going to the 0 value.  
That makes the graph very “spiky” and difficult to read.  
The data source is elastic 6.0+.  
I have tried to set the Null Value to connected in the Display --\> Stacking & Null value section, but doesn’t make any difference.  
Is there a way to have the values connect to the next available value without dropping to 0?

Thanks,  
Isaac

yes, in the date histogram you can expand the options and set Min Doc Count to 1 (instead of 0)
