how to turn off empty value approximation for Telerik chart controls

Question

I am using the Telerik rad chart control to create a bar chart of date-based data. The x-axis shows the date for each data point. The y-axis shows some total.

When there is no data in my datasource for a particular date, the chart is still showing a date, but no bar.

I think this falls under the "empty series approximation" functionality. Is there any way of turning this off? Some property or combination of properties that need to be set?

Thank you.
