Stop Power BI from interpolating between missing values

Hi,

 

The whole point of my graph is to show where data points are missing, but Power BI keeps filling the blanks by interpolating between them:

I would like the points to just disappear wherever there's a blank value.

The graph uses the following data:

where "time" is a "Time" format and "Actual_value" is a General format.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Hi @marvir ,

 

Is that Scatter chart? According to my test, it doesn't support show blank value as blank, but you can show blank value as 0. You can also set a color style to highlight blank values.

Hi @marvir ,

 

Power BI by default skip blanks and doesn't interpolate. However, if happening so, why don't you put a filter on the data and uncheck blanks. Am I missing something??
