Showing Empty Days in Week View

I'm having difficulty getting (or perhaps just understanding) the empty text concept. On my Week view, I'd love to have days that do not have any events simply show up and say "No events scheduled for this day." I've set that in the empty text area in a variety of places, but nothing is showing.

I think the problem has to do with the fact that in my Week view, I'm using a date/time field to sort and group the week view into a grid. If there's no date, it simply can't sort it and so I only see what's been scheduled (two events on two days). Any suggestions on getting to see the whole week, grid view, with empty text if there are no events? Thanks!
