A line chart plotting two series over six months.

When to use

Line charts are the right tool for “how did X change over time” questions. Use them for deal velocity, ticket throughput, NPS over weeks: any continuous trend.

Required data shape

  • X axis: a date or ordered numeric property.
  • Y axis: a numeric or aggregated property.
  • Group (optional): select property; each group becomes its own line.

Configuration

Limitations

  • More than ~5 series in one chart becomes hard to follow. Use Composite or split charts.
  • Sparse data leaves visual gaps; consider Area for cumulative views.
