1. Overview

​
1.1 Introduction

A Line chart shows how data changes over a continuous time interval or time span. It reflects trends in data as it varies over time or across ordered categories. A Line chart consists of:
  • X-Axis: represents time
  • Y-Axis: represents values
  • Points: mark the position of each data value
  • Lines: connect the data points
Highlight: You can freely resize the component and move it to any position (left, center, or right).

​
1.2 Use Cases

In a Line chart, the X-Axis typically represents the passage of time at equal intervals, while the Y-Axis represents data values at each point in time. The chart below shows how monthly sales change over time.

​
1.3 Basic Requirements

To build a Line chart, meet the following basic requirements.

​
2. Steps

​
2.1 Select the Component and Configure the Dataset

Create a report, add the Line chart component, and select a dataset, as shown below: Add a dataset.

​
2.2 Select the Fields to Display in the Chart

Drag fields from the right panel to X-Axis, Y-Axis, Group, or Reference line.

​
X-Axis

  • Sets the X-Axis of the Line chart.

​
Y-Axis

  • Sets the Y-Axis of the Line chart.

​
Group

  • When the Y-Axis has only one field, you can configure a group to expand the display by group dimension. When the Y-Axis has multiple fields, grouping is not supported.

​
Reference Line

  • Each reference line represents a specific value. You can configure multiple reference lines to compare data.

​
Conditional Filter

  • Filter the data shown in the chart based on the conditions you specify.
You can select a field directly from the dataset or generate one with a formula. For details, see Report formulas. Select data.
