Display empty values in area chart

I've given up trying to define a measure that returns the bank account balance and cash flow, even for days when there are no movements. After lots of different combinations, I realized it's not wort...

    Hi,

     

    I've figured out I must have a value for each day in my dates range for the ending balance.

    Otherwise, charts and visuals in general will look terrible.

     

    This is the expression I've managed to find:

    Saldo em EUR = 
IF (
    AND (
        'Consolidado'[DataCorrente] <= 'Consolidado'[DataMáxima];
        'Consolidado'[DataCorrente] >= 'Consolidado'[DataMínima]
    );
    CALCULATE (
        0 + SUM ( 'Consolidado'[Fluxo em EUR (intermédio)] );
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Calendário'[Data] );
            'Calendário'[Data] <= MAX ( 'Calendário'[Data] )
        )
    )
)

    Initially, a simple measure but required to define intermediate calculations.

     

    Now, the charts are looking better:

2nd question first - use a stacked area chart (you just have a standard area chart)

 

As to the 1st question, can you replace BLANK with 0 in the data?  There have been other dicussions that the area/stacked are chart leaves whitespots when there is missing data - it's a "bug" that seems to be low priority to be addressed.

 

You could also use a stacked column chart, which will show basically the same thing as the stacked area chart, but with "gaps" in between each X value.

    Thanks a lot for your support.


    The thing is, if you check your bank account on a day without transactions, you should still be able to see the balance (not a blank).

      So it sounds like your value needs to be a running total?  Here is a DAX pattern for running total (assume Table1 and DateTable have a Many-to-1 relationship:

       

      RunningMeasure = CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table1'[Value Column]),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'DateTable'[Date] ),
        'Table1'[Date] <= MAX ( 'DateTable'[Date] )
    )
)

       

      Hope this helps

      Is your X-Axis Continuous?
