Line Charts
A line chart is a powerful data visualization tool that displays trends and changes over time, making it ideal for tracking metrics like sales, website traffic, or stock prices.
Line chart
Axis parameter - Month
Values parameter - 2024 Plan, 2024 Actuals, 2023 Actuals, 2022 Actuals
Chart type - Line
It provides a clear and intuitive way to observe patterns and fluctuations in continuous data by connecting data points with straight lines.
Line charts can be converted into Spline and Stepped charts from the chart selection menu, without changing the configuration.

Stacked Line chart
Axis parameter - Month
Values parameter - 2024 Plan, 2024 Actuals, 2023 Plan, 2023 Actuals, 2022 Plan, 2022 Actuals
Chart type - Stacked Line
By stacking data series, these charts highlight the composition and progression of different categories, making them ideal for scenarios like tracking departmental contributions to total revenue or monitoring resource allocation across projects.
The stacked line can be converted into spline and stepped line variants by switching the chart type.
100% Stacked Line chart
Axis parameter - Month
Values parameter - 2024 Plan, 2024 Actuals, 2023 Plan, 2023 Actuals, 2022 Plan, 2022 Actuals
Chart type - 100% Stacked Stepped Line
By representing data in percentages, the 100% stacked line charts allow for easier comparison between categories.
We've used a 100% Stacked Stepped Line chart for demonstration, but it can be converted into spline and line variants by switching the chart type.
Baseline
Axis parameter - Month
Values parameter - 2024 Actuals
Chart type - Baseline
A baseline chart incorporates a reference line - known as the baseline. This baseline can be a fixed value, such as zero, a target threshold, or a dynamically calculated value based on historical data. Baseline charts are particularly useful in highlighting deviations, trends, and anomalies relative to this reference point.
Baseline
Axis parameter - Month
Values parameter - 2024 Actuals, 2023 Actuals
Chart type - Variance line
A variance line chart illustrates the differences between two comparable metrics over time, such as actual versus budgeted figures. By plotting measures as lines on the same graph, the chart highlights deviations, enabling quick identification of periods where performance diverged from expectations
