Data is not getting populated onto line chart

Hi! I am using PostgreSQL data source and want to display data for the last 30 minutes onto a line chart. However, I am not sure why no data points can be seen.

I want to achieve something like this:

If I had to guess it is going to be due to UTC.  The best solution I can think of is to have a duplicate of your DateTime field but set to UTC.  Do your filtering on the UTC column but use your localised date/time field used in the graph itself.

 

Power BI, especially in the Service, does everything using UTC datetime for the out of the box features.

Hi @efjw ,

Could you please show you a screenshot of your table data, I would like to know if there is time in your datetime column?

My Table View:

I did another test to include the time in my datetime and the display looks like this:

@Anonymous Thanks so much for replying! My table has a datetime column but I belive that it was the auto hierarchy that caused the issue! After turning off auto date/time and creating a new report, it works now!
