How do you Plot a Zero Value in a Pivot Chart?

I am using pivot charts to plot events over time for various vendors.
The problem is that if there was no occurrence for a particular month,
that month is skipped in the pivot chart. (I.E. you might get a chart
that plots only two months in a six month period).

Since I am using the pivot table to total records that fall under a
vendor in each month, I cannot add a zero record, or Excel counts that
as an event and would give it a value of one.

Does anyone know how to make the pivot chart show months that are
"non-hits"?

Thank you,

Debra, You just made my day! Thank you! I had double clicked the
Date field in the pivot table layout and could not find that option.
I was afraid it was one of the limitations of pivot charts, and hadn't
thought of double-clicking the actual button on the table or chart!
And could find no documentation of how to show zero values.

Many thanks!
