Help with Line Chart

Hello!

When I was trying to add a line chart that shows headcounts by month, the chart shows only the current selected month instead of showing all months. Am I missing something? 

Here's what I have right now

And here's what I need to get:

Thank you!

@Anonymous , if you select one month and want more than that on axis, you need an independent table

 

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = eomonth(_max, -7) +1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

@Anonymous not sure what column you are using for x-axis, you should use month on the x-axis and then you can slice it on a year and you will see all the months for that year.
