NULL values in graph (running sum)

i,

I have problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.7 with area graph.

I have on graph: YEAR, TYPE of ENERGY and POWER, I created graph on pivot table: in rows i have years // columns is type of energy // measures: power

I have NULL values for some year and type energy - NULLvalues it's mean that table don't have record.

I can't use IFNULL() because table don't have record for example for 2006 for water (BLUE COLOR).

What I want to see: If 2006 Year don't have record for WATER I want see value from 2005 - display running sum it's warking fine but no with NULL.

My aim is: don't see blank record in table and blank place in graph.

What can I do?

Can I do something only in OBIEE or Admin Tool (rpd)?

Or must I write VIEW base on this table?

Thanks for any help.

PS. At now I can't customize source table with this data.

    Have you tried replacing NULLs with Zero - use a CASE statement to achieve this? This would make your running sum work although it should be noted that zero and NULL aren't the same.

    Thanks for response.

    I did this task by creating complex SQL query (view) and implementing Direct Database Request.
