Chart smoothing help with low input weekends

Here is a sample of the data I am working with. The column with "Missing" can also be "On Time", "Late", or "Early".

The issue I am having is there are much fewer data points on the weekends so the chart jolts down and is extremely hard to read trends. How can I go about "linking" Saturdays to Friday and Sundays to Monday? Any other suggestions? 

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You could create a new date column to combine the dates.

New Date =
VAR a =
    WEEKDAY ( 'Table'[Date], 1 )
RETURN
    IF (
        a = 7,
        CALCULATE (
            FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Date], 1 ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) - 1 )
        ),
        IF (
            a = 1,
            CALCULATE (
                FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Date], 1 ),
                FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Date] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Date] ) + 1 )
            ),
            'Table'[Date]
        )
    )

I would probably just filter out weekend days.  That would it would go straight from Friday to Monday.

That is my current solution but the data is important for final reporting numbers. I'd like to be able to include it on the graph totals but not as a seperate point on the line
