# Unbalanced hierarchies

In real-life business scenarios, not all hierarchies are balanced and symmetrical. You can suppress blank category rows when you have unbalanced hierarchies where the number of levels is uneven. Enable the **Ragged hierarchy** toggle to hide blank rows. 

## 1. Ragged hierarchy for charts

The ragged hierarchy option is available in the Display settings > Axis tab in chart mode.
