Continuous Scale on x-axis is ugly

[toddbuss]

The appearance of the graph below is close to my target....

BUT... the X axis is supposed to be continuous, and isn't. It is missing the zero value that is calculated for January 2017.    Alternatively, the ugly graph below shows what happens when I select "use continuous scale".   My January zero shows up as it should, but the bars are skinny to represent a single day of the month.

I have a derived field in my data load : ...Dual(Month($1), monthstart($1)) AS [_YearMonth] Tagged ('$axis', '$yearmonth', '$simplified', '$hidden')...

I think I need to expand the values to extend the entire span of the month, but I don't know an elegant way to do this. Does anyone know the proper method to fix this? 

Thanks.
