There may be some instances where the guideline has a value of zero across the chart. See the chart below as an example. This generally happens when the start date of the report is before the date that issues have been added and estimated. Since the guideline uses the remaining work value as its starting value, you must select a date where the remaining work is greater than 0. Setting the report start date to a later date will solve this issue.
You can also use the additional guideline option Guideline Start Date option (see below) to set the guideline start date to a later date and time in your report. Simply select the calender icon and choose the date and a time you want the guideline to start.
