I did think about something like this but the problem is that when you chart
data with missing data the line just stops and starts over the missing info,
it doesn't interpolate the gaps.  This means if it gets data like...

2007/10/01 - 15
2007/10/02 - null
2007/10/03 - 17
2007/10/04 - null
2007/10/05 - null
2007/10/06 - 12

The chart would then show nothing at all because it will try to render 3
disconnected dots which will not display anything.

Hey pal,

If you're looking to fill in the holes where there is no data for a
particular date the best way to do this is with a Calendar table in your
database, you can then select the desired date range from this and LEFT
OUTTER JOIN it to your table with your statistics data, that way It'll
return a row for every date in the range, regardless of whether you have
data for that date or not, so you get no gaps.

It's more of a SQL type thing so you might be better off asking there, and
looking around for some help building and populating a Calendar table, it's
not an overly complicated task, but a calendar table will really help you
out for this and many other tasks too, I'd highly recommend one.

Let me know if you need any more help Jay,

Rob

I have a cfchart displaying dates along the X axis, is there any way to get
ColdFusion to treat these as a scale so that a 7 day gap in the data would
stretch the graph out to interpolate the missing days?

CFChart does have an "xAxisType" attribute but to set it to scale the data
must be numeric and I really want to keep the data displaying as formatted
dates.
