You have to (1) generate the chart using script or (2) modify a QuickBase rendered Chart to plug in the missing data. This timely post (which includes a demo) shows you the general technique of how to modify a QuickBase rendered chart:
What Chart Enhancements Do You Need?
https://quickbase-community.intuit.com/questions/1447093
it isn't difficult and I was anticipating this question coming up when I made the post. In a nutshell you have to push an extra datapoint onto the x and y axes to represent the category that is missing and give it a zero count. It is a little more complicated than this because for consistency sake you should synthesize the drilldown URLs even though there is no data to drill into.
Feel free to contact me off-world if you want a solution to this problem as it involves individualized script.

- JohnNorwood6 years agoQrew MemberI'm trying to solve this exact same problem and would like to look at the example referenced by https://quickbase-community.intuit.com/questions/1447093 , but following the link just takes me back to https://community.quickbase.com/home. Is there any more information available on the solution or relevant examples?

Unfortunately that is a very old link that lead to the Forums we had when we were still part of Intuit that have been retired. I believe though that is was directing to this conversation:

Before I go down this rabbit hole, by chance in the time that has elapsed since the original post, do you know if a simpler solution come to light? I just want a bar chart with the x axis dates grouped by week to display zero rather than skipping the week if there are no matching records.
