An area chart visualizes value changes and composition over time and across dimensions — filled colors and stacking. Great for sales trends or resource allocation. Quickly identify shifts and compare contributions across categories.

Add an area chart

In the upper-left, click Add chart. Pick Area chart.

Configure the area chart

Configure type/data and custom style: Data: pick source — table and data range. All data enables filters. Chart: switch type — basic, stacked, or 100% stacked area chart; pick a color theme. X-axis: pick the field, sort basis (by X value, Y value, or record order), and sort order (ascending/descending). Y-axis: aggregation (count of records or aggregated field value), Y content, and group aggregation. With “count of records”, only set group aggregation (none, or by field). With “aggregated field value”: no grouping → multiple Y fields with their own aggregations (count, sum, average, max, etc.) — remove/move up/move down. Grouping → one Y field with one aggregation. Note: with grouping, X can’t sort by Y value. Note: sum, max, min, and average only apply to numeric fields. Custom style: background color, legend position, value display, gridlines, axis labels, overlap settings, line type, axis visibility, axis baseline visibility, axis-label visibility, X-label angle — all configurable.

Manage the area chart

Hover over the chart — find the icon in the upper-right. Click for: configure, rename, copy, add to dashboard center, copy as image, export as image, delete. Drag the lower-right corner to resize. Drag the top to reposition.
