How to present quarterly data in a continuous monthly chart?

Hi everyone! I hope you can help me with my little conundrum.. 

 

I have a set of data by quarter (quarterly sales targets) and I need to present them as a continuous line on a monthly chart. How do I do it? Is it a matter of a formatting option or does it require a dedicated measure? Note that the values are cumulative.
Thanks in advance!

@CSteff , continuous axis can be used with date (Month start Date, Qtr Start date, Date etc) Or number (Month Number, Qtr No etc)

 

With axis type

Hello,

I'm having the exact same issue. I have my quarterly results (as a last day of the quarter), and my monthly results (as a last date of a month) in one table.

 

When I try to visualize it, I get only dots for the quarterly results:

But when I put month numbers (1, 2, 3), instead of labels (January, February...) it works:

But I cannot really show numbers instead of months' name. Is there any workaround for this?

 

Thank you in advance

Ok, I think I solved it. I had to change the type of my Period table to Date (it was set to text).
