Show items with no data in line chart

Hi Guys,

 

Currently I am working with a line visual in which I want to show the budgets for each month of the current year. In this visual I also want to see the upcoming months that have no data yet. In order to show these I found out that you can use the "show items with no data" value. 

This does work for my visual when I make it a bar chart:

However, when using the exact same data and turning it into a line chart, it does not show my empty months:

Does anybody have an idea on how to fix this?

 

My data comes from SQL and looks like the following:

Kind regards,

Max

Hi @MaxSchrijen23 ,

 

If you change the type of the x-axis to "categorical" and enable 'Show items with no data' option, you can see the blank values.

@amitchandak , this leads to the following:

Preferably I don't want these lines to jump to 0, but just stop after 7. Is that also possible?
