Active Report with Visualization showing empty categories on edge

Troubleshooting


Problem

Linking a Vizualization to a control in an Active Report shows categories on the edges that have no data. For example in the Samples packages there's no Q4 in 2013. However if 2013 is selected from a dropdown a clustered bar Vizualization in the report will show an empty bar for Q4.

Symptom

Nulls on the edge
