Line graphs show straight line and dates

Hello Everyone, I could use some help please.  I've attached a screenshot that shows how all of the lines are fixed, as well as on one of the graphs the date range extends into the future.  Can you ...

    Hi Josef,

     

    I think I figured out the blank chart issue.  I was drawing the slicer names from a table in access but the date type was "number".  I changed a few things and the data type is "short text" now and it seems to work.

     

    Thank you for all of your time!

Thanks for keeping at this with me.  I started a new Power BI file and get the same result.  Curious though that when "Blank" is selected in the slicer the lines appear, but when I choose to slice it then both lines disappear.  I'm sorry, I don't know how to share this without violating work confidentiality rules.  I really appreciate all your help with this!
