Types of line chart
Line Chart:
A line chart displays data as a series of data points connected by straight line segments. It is ideal for showing trends over time or comparing multiple series of data. Line charts are commonly used to visualize continuous data, such as time-series data, where the x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents the value of the data points.
Line charts in Power BI offer various customization options, allowing users to tailor the appearance and behavior of the chart according to their needs. Users can customize the line style, color, and markers to distinguish between different data series or highlight specific data points. Additionally, Power BI provides interactive features such as tooltips, data labels, and trend lines, enhancing the usability and interactivity of line charts.
Types of Line Charts in Power BI:
-
Single Series Line Chart:
A single series line chart displays one set of data points represented by a single line. It is useful for visualizing the trend of a single metric over time or comparing the performance of a single entity over different time periods.
-
Multiple Series Line Chart:
A multiple series line chart displays multiple sets of data points represented by separate lines on the same chart. It allows users to compare the trends of multiple metrics simultaneously, making it easier to identify correlations or patterns between different variables.
-
Stacked Line Chart:
A stacked line chart combines multiple series of data points into a single line, where each segment of the line represents the cumulative total of the underlying data series. It is useful for visualizing the composition of a whole over time, showing how individual components contribute to the overall trend.
-
100% Stacked Line Chart:
Similar to the stacked line chart, the 100% stacked line chart represents each data series as a percentage of the total, ensuring that the cumulative total of all series equals 100% at each point along the x-axis. It is helpful for comparing the relative distribution of different categories or groups over time.
-
Area Chart:
Although not strictly a line chart, the area chart is closely related and is often used to visualize cumulative data trends over time. It fills the area below the lines with color, making it easier to visualize the magnitude of change over time while still displaying the underlying trend.
