Line Charts

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

Line charts have the following sections:

• Metrics
• 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 metric/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 Metrics 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 metric’s settings.

For information about common characteristics and settings of all visualizations, see Visualization Types.
