hello everyone i have a calendar table , datatable, 2 disconnected date tables to choose from month vs month

my calendar table is a list from january 1 2023 to today() my datatable has no data in some dates for example my datatable jumps from february 14 to march 14 , in 1 month i have no records

when i put the calendar table as x-axis and sum of values from datatable in y-axis , my line chart skips from feb 14 to march 14 and isnt continuous ina way

i am trying to make this

as you see i selected may and march since may has data from may 1 to may 31 , the line works and error bars work

but in march it skips from feb 19 to march 14

and you can see that i dont have my second error bar because there is no march 1

how to fix my issue here is full chart

yea sure , since i have a field paramter of measures , i had to create a switch measure for my measures based on the order of the field paramter

Switch Measure = SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Order]), 0,[Measure 1], .... )

after that i made another measure called switch measure no blanks

SWITCH Measuer No Blanks = IF(ISBLANK(Switch Measure]),0,[Switch Measure])

now i forced my line chart to take into consideration the 0s

now for my error bars and line above i just replaced the measure used in the formual to the [switch Measure No Blanks]
