I tried to use

inner join or Keep inner

First you may try to uncheck the 'Include null values' checkbox.

Occasionally, you may get values that do not appear as nulls but are 'empty'.  You may use this script in your chart dimension to have those values not shown:

= if (len(trim(ProductName))>0,ProductName)

This is a simple if/then statement that says, if the string length of the value for ProductName is anything over 0, show me ProductName.  So the rows that have no value should not be returned and therefore not shown in the chart.
