I hope this is a simple question, but I have been beating my head

I hope this is a simple question, but I have been beating my head against the wall for hours now. I would like to create a column chart in SSRS 2008 with columns that are always the same width and always the same width of space between columns. The catch is that the chart will not always have the same amount of columns.

Here is what I have in scenario 1 with 12 columns:

Here is what I have in scenario 2 with 4 columns:

enter image description here

I would like to see something more like scenario 3 instead:

As of now this is a very simple column chart. The only real modification I have done that I feel will be important to mention is that I have set the PixelPointWidth value to 20 in the Chart Series -> Custom Attributes section. This ensures that the columns all stay the same size. I notice that the PointWidth value in the same section is used to control spacing between columns, but it does so by making the columns larger/smaller to fit. The PointWidth value has no effect when the PixelPointWidth value is greater than zero.

Please help me find the way to keep the columns the same width and also maintain the same width between columns!

    Manipulate your Dataset so that it always provides rows for Value 01 through to Value 12, with null values for the measure. Then in the Chart’s Category Group properties, use an Iif function for the Label property to set it to an empty string “” if the measure is null (or use another column as a flag).
