cumulative total + missing data

Hi,

I'm having some troubles with the following.
I'm calculating a cumulative total going back in time, which is my timeline 0 = today, 1 yesterday and so on.

 

Cumulative SQL1% =
CALCULATE(
    [SQL1%],
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Calendar3'),
        'Calendar3'[Timeline] <= MAX('Calendar3'[Timeline] )
    )

SQL1% =
DIVIDE([Activated],[SQL])
 
Activated = CALCULATE(
    SUM(ClientDays[Activated]),
        ClientDays[StopReason__c] <> ""
    )
)

SQL = CALCULATE(
    COUNT(ClientDays[Id]),
        ClientDays[StopReason__c] <> ""
    )

Now I have the issue when I don't have data for this multiple on that day the Y-axis drops to 0, I would like it to be like the purple line. It ignoring the fact there's no data for that day.

Hi @Ben_Schenck ,

Based on my testing, please try the following methods:

1.Create the simple table.

2.Create the new measure to calculate.

Cumulative SQL1% = 
VAR activ_ = SELECTEDVALUE('Table 1'[Activated])
VAR sq_ = SELECTEDVALUE('Table 1'[SQL])
VAR sql_1 = DIVIDE(activ_, sq_)
VAR calcu_ = CALCULATE(
    DIVIDE(activ_, sq_),
    FILTER(
        ALLSELECTED('Table 1'),
        'Table 1'[Timeline] <= MAX('Table 1'[Timeline])
    ))
RETURN
IF(
    calcu_ = 0,
    BLANK(),
    calcu_
)

 

 

3.Drag the measure into the Line chart.

4.The result is shown below.
