    1.create a measure=  blank() ,

    2.add it to the visual

     

    3.select show items with no data.

     

     

    4.

    use categorical instead of continuous

        if the type is ont showing, this means that your date column is of type text. you neeed to change its data type to date .

         

         

        hope this helps

    Hi Banan,

     

    Maybe you can try to use Clustered bar chart, which has X-axis as value column. Stacked column chart has Y-axis as value column.

     

    Hope it helps!

      Yes, I use a clustered bar chart, but I want to place dates on the x-axis and products on the y-axis. If I choose to place dates on the x-axis, they should be summarized, for example, by count."
