Plotting line plot using two datasets with different x-axis intervals

Long story short, I have two datasets, dataset A and dataset B

 

Dataset A and B both have "distance" from origin and "speed" as coloumns

 

Dataset A is the permentant speed requirements while Dataset B gets refreshed in daily.

 

Datasset A has even values (2, 4, 6 ... etc) for distance while Dataset B has odd values (1, 3, 5, etc)

 

Essentially, trying to create a line plot using the two datasets so that X-axis is "distance" and Y-axis is "Speed". Problem is, when I try to plot them, it doesn't see shared x-axis values and gives me average speed as one constant value from Dataset B. 

 

Looking to plot both datasets on the same plot.

Hi  @Eyad_Rish ,

 

Whether your two data sets can not connect the relationship between the columns, such as [distance], A table [distance] is an even value, B table is an odd value, there is not a relationship between them can connect the columns, the two columns together in the line chart, there will be "Can't display the data because Power BI can't determine the relationship between two or more fields", if you just put A table [distance], will only display the table in the [Speed]. data because Power BI can't determine the relationship between two or more fields", if you just put the [distance] in table A, it will only display the [Speed] in this table, and will not display the [Speed] in table B. If you just put [distance] from table A, it will only show [Speed] from this table and not [Speed] from table B, because there is no corresponding value.

 

You can consider creating a table to join the two tables:

Table =
UNION(
    'TableA','TableB')

@Eyad_Rish , Not very clear, seems like you need a table of values using generateseries and join it with both the tables

 

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
Appreciate your Kudos.
