I dont know why is there no link between the two data points between april and may and may and june.

Here is the query i have:
| inputlookup category
| eval _time=strptime(_time, "%m/%d/%Y")
| search envcor="$env$"
| eval group=envcor."_"
| timechart sum(Total_Number_Unique_Names) sum(Total_Number_Shops) by group

 

Please help. Thanks.

Have you looked at the underlying data to validate there's (consistent) data for April? If you want to connect the lines you can try setting null values to "Connect" in the visualization settings:

Or you could use the filldown command, which replaces null values with the last non-null value.

 

| filldown <fields>
