Cumulative total plot with empty values

I'm using a measure to create a plot of cumulative total employees at our company by department. It looks like this:

 

 

The measure looks like this:

 

Running Total =

CALCULATE (
SUMX(Employee_Table, Employee_Table[Count]),
    FILTER (
        ALL( 'Employee_Table' ),
        'Employee_Table'[Date] <= MAX( 'Date'[Date] )),
    VALUES(Employee_Table[Department])
)
 
Employee_Table is a table of employee ID#, name, manager, location, hire date, and termination date. On their hire date record they have a count of +1 and on their termination date they have a count of -1. The date table is a calculated table using the min(date) from employee table as the start date and today() as the ending date.
 
This seems to calculate fine, but the problem I run into is that when I plot this all out, if a department doesn't hire in a month the running total doesn't contribute to the given bar. So for example, recruiting is grey in this plot and in the last 4 bars (months) has a value of 9, 10, 0, and 10 because in the second to last month they didn't hire anyone. It should visualize as 9, 10, 10, 10. Also, if this works the stacked column at the very end should have a total of 532, which it does in the tooltip but not the visualization.
 
Thanks for your help!

    Hi all, 

     

    i have the same problem, and no idea how to fix it. 

     

    so i have a cumulative bar chart which is working fine and i can not get the bars with no change to show up for the previous quarters. 

     

    any help would be appreciated. 

     

    my cumulative DAX formula read as

     

    Cumulative = CALCULATE(COUNT('History: Risk'[Id]),FILTER(ALL('History: Risk'[CreatedDate].[Date]),'History: Risk'[CreatedDate].[Date] <= MAX('History: Risk'[CreatedDate])))

    HI bice_cold,

     

    I think this should related to values function, when specific department not contain in current date range, it will hide rolling cumulative total amount.

     

    Can you please share some sample data for test to coding formula?
