Visual returning the same data for every date when using CALENDARAUTO()

[OhLookAnError]

I am counting rows from "tblA" under two different conditions using these measures:

 Cnt of A = COUNTROWS(Filter(tblA, tblA[Column Name] = "A"))

Cnt of B  = COUNTROWS(Filter(tblA, tblA[Column Name] = "B"))

Dropping these into a clustered column and when I use the Date from "tblA" I get the correct occurrences for both in each month but I am learning that because the dates in "tblA" are not continuous it prohibits me from using a trendline. When I drop my CALENDARAUTO() calendar into the X-axis it gives me the same values in every month. 

My "Date" from my Calendar Table where the CALENDARAUTO() column is has a one to many relationship with my date column in "tblA" and the cross filtering is set to both.   Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @OhLookAnError ,

As far as I know, trendline should work in cluster column which contains continuous date.

Below is my sample table which doesn't have continuous date like 'tblA'.

According to your statement, I think you may use date hierarchy in your visual. Then trendline will not work in analysis pane. Here I suggest you to add [Date] column whether from "Calendar" or "tblA" into X axis field and select X axis type as Continuous.

For reference: Use the Analytics pane in Power BI Desktop

@FreemanZ I Have a continuous calendar table and I have a calendar generated by the random dates of "tblA". When I use the dates out of tblA I get the correct data in each month but when I use the calendar table I get what might be a sum of all the data in each month. normally I wouldnt care and would just use the calendar out of tblA but I need a trendline and my understanding is that since that is not a continuous calendar, it won't give me the option for a trendline.
