Creating Custom Date range
I am trying to create a custom date range that shows the last fifteen days no matter if there is data for that date in my table or not. As long as it's in the last 15 days range, it should be shown on the graph. Here's my current graph:
As you can see, it is not showing the last 15 days because I don't have any data pripr to March 1st. However, I need to display the last 15 day. I tried creatin a calculated column called Last15Days = toda() - date. However, this only displays dates which are in my data. So, for instance, Feb29th is not displayed although its in the last 15 days range.

I assume you do not have a dedicated Date table in your model. If not, add one and link it to your data. (Date tables are meant to solve this kind of problems).
The most basic date table has only one column and contains a set of contiguous dates.
The quickest way to create one would be to add a calculated table to your model and use the CALENDARAUTO() function.
