Why is graph showing just a straight line?

Hello. I want to make a visual the shows how required margin changes over time. The graph I want to illustrate seems to just show a straight line. The reportdate on the x-axis is updating new values daily. How can I fix this issue?

@LFM ,
Your table with dates (Rapportdato) and table with values (2025 - Required Margin, 2026 - Required Margin, 2027 - Required Margin, 2028 - Required Margin) are not connected and hence you are getting a straight line.

You will need to create a relationship between these 2 tables which should resolve the issue.
