Line Charts

Line charts show data as line-connected dots. Line charts can display changes in measures across time or progress across a series of stages.

Line charts have the following sections:

  • Measures
  • Trend by
  • Segment by
  • Configuration

If you configure the Trend by section and add a date or an attribute, you display a trend line. Trend lines connect individual measure/attribute values.

In line charts, you can also:

  • Display the values as a percentage.

    To do so, add a date or an attribute to the Trend by section.

  • Display individual values of an attribute.

    To do so, add an attribute to the Segment by section. You must have only one item in the Measures section.

  • Compare your data to the previous period or the same period of the previous year.

    For details, see Time over Time Comparison.

  • Display a secondary y-axis on the right side.

    To do so, select the show on right axis checkbox in a measure’s settings.

For information about common characteristics and settings of all insights, see Insight Types.
