Line

Line charts connect data points with a continuous line. Use them when the direction and rate of change matter — trends over time, trajectories of multiple series, or any ordered dimension where continuity is meaningful.

​

Variants

​

Single series

One measure plotted against a time or ordered dimension. The simplest and most common use case.

​

Multi-series

Multiple lines plotted on the same axes. Map a second dimension to the Color channel to split one measure into one line per dimension value, or add multiple measures to the Y axis to plot them as separate series.

​

With reference line

A horizontal reference line marks a target, threshold, or benchmark. Added via the Axes section of the Style tab.

​

Reference lines

Add a horizontal reference line in the Y axis section of the Style tab. Set the value, label, color, and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted). A labelled line also takes horizontal (start / middle / end) and vertical (above / below) placement for its text. Multiple reference lines are supported. See Axes for the full configuration reference.

​

Axis behavior

Line charts use a temporal X axis for time dimensions — continuous, time-aware, and not constrained to the result set. For non-time dimensions, the axis is ordinal and follows the result set sort order. Gaps in the line indicate missing data points.

​

Combining with bars

To layer a line on top of a bar chart, add a second series to the Y axis, set its mark type to Line in series configuration, and assign it to the right Y axis for a dual-axis layout.
