Connect dots to make line for missing categorical data in line chart

[Anonymous]

Hello, is there a way to connect the grey dots in the picture below? I am currently using categorical data because I need to display the x-axis by week.

I can change the data to continuous to connect the grey dots, but that creates another issue. The grey data is actually by month, that is why there is a data point every four weeks and missing data points in between those four weeks. Here is what the chart looks like when I change the data type to continuous.

I need the x-axis to display weeks, not months. Basically, I need the x-axis to look like the first graph and the lines to look like the second graph. I am getting the data from a SQL database and would like to avoid creating fake data points in SQL if possible.

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Can what @Greg_Deckler mentioned meet your requirements?

@Anonymous - It is theoretically possible to get the best of both categorical and continuous. See attached PBIX file below sig, Page 3. You need to create a measure to fill in the gaps. If you want to get fancy, you can use Interpolation. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Linear-Interpolation/m-p/330712#M88
