Suppose I have a crosstab. Nothing special. It just shows the types of products sold - daily. The products are renamed (and ordered) by using "Special Order". Very basic until now.

Example:

                Expensive Suits | Mediocre Suits | Cheap Suits |
13/sep2007          5           |        0       |         3
12/sep2007          0           |        0       |         2


But suppose a certain product was never ever sold (see Mediocre Suits). Then the column for this product never appears. How can I force CR XI to make this column appear and showing only zero's?

I need the appearance of all columns (sold or not sold)  for programming purposes later on.

Yeah, this is tricky. One option is to add a dummy record in the table with a Mediocre Suit and count of zero just to get it in the list. Another option is to have a table with every suit type in it and then do an left outer join to make it get up in the list (and convert nulls to zero).

That's exactly what I did. Doesn't work. Converting nulls is just a setting in CR right? I did!

Make sure you used the right outer join or left outer join as needed based on where you used this table with every suit type in it
 
Thank you
