Hi @Anonymous 
To show the months without data, you can click on axis X and check the option: " Show items with no data".
Please refer to the attached picture:

Hi @Anonymous 
In this context, it's not 0....but you don't have any data.
If zero is mandatory, then you need to build a measure with dax manipulations so that there will be zero in months with no activity.
Please post a separate question with an example of your data tables and a measure you calculate

With a simple measure, e.g., calculate sum(sales['Sales']), should not it give me zero for month in which there are not sales?
when I use a measure of this kind:
var result = calculate(sum(Sales['Sales'])
return
if(result = 0, "1000", result)
it gives 1000 for months with zero sales, so it sees them as 0, and not blank, is that right?
