How to show the blank month in bar chart within selected date range

I would like to show current month and upcoming three month data in the bar chart in power BI, how to show June's bar even it is null?

I have applied below filter but seems useless, many thanks in advanced.

Date Filter =

IF(

    COUNTROWS(

        FILTER(

            Opportunities,

            Opportunities[Est. close date] >= TODAY() &&

            Opportunities[Est. close date] <= EOMONTH(TODAY(), 3) &&

            YEAR(Opportunities[Est. close date]) = YEAR(TODAY())

        )

    ) > 0,

    1,

    0

)

Hi @rachelbi ,

 

 Are the periods in X axis from Opportunities table as well? Do those months exist in your data? If no to both, you cannot make a month appear if it doesn't exist in your data. What you can do is use a separate calendar table (which is the best practice by the way ), related that to your fact, use the columns from that calendar table and and show items with no data. Please see attached pbix.

measure name  = 
var mainMeasure = you put the dax of the main measure here

Hi @rachelbi 

 

if show data with not item does not work you can try below solution: 

 

for missing month you can try to this and intergate with you current approach this should be be solved: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/To-show-all-legend-for-a-pie-chart/m-p/3833551#M12... and use this in one of your axis. If you still have confusion if not able to understand the logic you refer this video: https://youtu.be/WqE2As9RlgA?si=ApPGO3fZG_iwXSWu here in first part same missing months are shown in axis
