This is normal for MS. It doesn't make any difference if there is 1 day or 1 year of data missing -
Explorer will still report on what it sees as the latest data for each issue. If you want to check
that the data is for the latest date you will need to add a date filter to your exploration and set
the appropriate date each day.
