Why is my line flat, on bar and line graph?

Help please!  Why can I get this data (relating to producted delivered (bars) and hours worked (lines) sucessfully on separate graphs, but when I try to put them onto one visualisation together, the line goes flat?

Both data tables are linked to a rolling calendar table...

I just can't figure it out!

Thanks

I am suspecting the dates used are from where the columns are from instead of from the connecting date table.

Yes it likely has to do with the relationship between data tables and calendar table or 'Dispatch Date Calc' which i see in the bar charts but not line chart. Where does that field come from?

Except now I'm struggling to get the chart in date order, by week... any advice?

I've tried adding a couple of different columns to my rolling calendar then sorting the "Start of Week" field by that column, but I obviously haven't hit the right code...
