Overlapping data series with Live Connection

I'm accessing my data from a MSAS cube with Live Connection.  I have 3 data series: history (actuals), a near term forecast, and a long range forecast.  I want to use a line graph to show the continuity (ie. that neither the near term or long range forecasts have unexplainable "jolts").  Because I need to retain a history of the near-term forecasts I can't delete these.  Because months are "in progress" I get a tailing off of the actuals.

 

What I want to be able to do is filter the actuals for completed months, have the near-term forecast for just the current month and the following 2 months, and the long-range forecast for the 3rd future month onwards.  I would then plot these on an axis of months.  As the data has many dimensions (customer segment, state, product type) I want to have this all on one graph so that the vertical axis will resize as required.  3 graphs side-by-side is not my preferred outcome.

 

Here's what I currently get...

 

 

Green line should stop at March 2019.  Black line April 2019 + May & June.  Red line from July 2019 onwards.

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi KiwiAbroad 

    It seems there's no better way to achieve that with live connection.You may create measures to get it if you import the data.
