Insert multiple rows with some blank and some computed columns till some date to show trend line
Hello,
In my current example, I am holding data for let's say till 7th of May. However, there is some future date decided to forecast the trend line, suppose 8th of August. Now, how do I insert such rows(number of rows to be inserted would be in days for 8th of Aug minus 7th of May) in the dataset with some blank columns and some columns that would be computed based upon a formula.
Currently, PBI only shows up the data that it can fetch but nothing to show as a trend line.
Please help.
Thanks,
Nitin

Anonymous ,Not very clear to me. Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

sample:
901 740 571 662 5/5/2021
903 737 564 659 5/6/2021
903 737 558 659 5/7/2021
552 5/8/2021
545 5/9/2021
539 5/10/2021
PBI draws till date 5/7/2021 where it finds all the date from the subsequent row. However, I want to draw till 5/10/2021 in a line chart.- AnonymousNot applicable

As you can see the black line is not extended just like in the first figure.

Hi Anonymous
I am not very clear about your needs, if there is no data for the corresponding date, it will not be displayed on the line chart
This my sample, maybe you can refer to it .
Original data:
Add a Line chart , use [Date] as Axis , [Name] as Legend , [Value] as Values .
Best Regards

Not all the columns have values for future dates except one column whose values are calculated based upon some formula from previous dates. This is why it is important to plot the calculated future values on the chart. This actually depicts the forecast trends for future dates and there is no way I see to plot in PBI. Please refer to the sample data and sample figure in previous replies in this post.
Thanks.
