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.
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.
By representing data in percentages, the 100% stacked line charts allow for easier comparison between categories.
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.

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
