XY Line Chart

XY Line Chart

Overview

Line charts connect the series of data category data points using a line. The XY Line chart allows you to pick a numeric value for the X axis, for instance a year instead of a character based value.

Example

SQL: 

SELECT AMOUNT, SOLD_ON as YEAR, ITEM FROM ITEM_SALES

Now you will prepare your result set as shown in Data Preparation so that you have the SOLD_ON (YEAR) and ITEM columns sorted ascending as shown.
