How to interpolate data that is in groups to estimate missing values?
- 4 years ago
Hi justlogmein
Actually I have double checked. There is no problem with the interpolation. It is 100% accurate but the thing is you the intervals in the x-axis are not uniform which makes the chart looks odd. I think you need to proceed with a different aproach uniforming the intervals at the x-axis.
Thank you Tamer. I see that there are some large jumps in the hours in the output there. I would have expected the interpolated data (for missing values) to be half the difference of the two two known numbers on each side of it, so essentially a straight line between between the known ones. I'm wondering if the multiple missing values in a row is affecting the calculation?

Thank you. Would you happen to know how I could do this in DAX? I could easily interpolate the data, even if not uniform, in Excel, but I am not that experienced with DAX to know what formulas to use.

What is the time interval that you're looking for?- justlogmein4 years ago

Only for those dates that are on there. The dates will be sporadic, but all I am trying to do is fill in the gaps for the missing ones i.e. draw a direct across the top of the known ones on the graph and fill up to that line for the missing dates.
