Visual initially looks good,
but when we filter by user.
Line should go to zero at 18:00 on 09/11/2020.
We think a measure should resolve this.
We've tried various ideas i.e.
But have not succeded in the correct expression.
Happy to share pbix. if it makes it clearer.
Many thanks in advance.
Cgull this is a large problem than what looks on the surface, as a best practice, you always want to have dimension in your model and strive for star schema and that's is the root cause of this problem. Understand star schema and the importance for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
See attached and now you want to tweak the measure as referred to in the previous reply for the SQLBI video.

Cgull one quick way is to add +0 to the measure, and also check this post that explains it very well. How to return 0 instead of BLANK in DAX - SQLBI
