Basic line charts display several numeric data points (series or columns) for a set of records. Each data point for a given record is connected by a line. This illustrates the change between data points and the lines emphasize the differences between records for the same data point.

Line charts are also related to Scatter Charts and Area Charts. For a reverse relationship between data points and records, see Sparkline. For datasets with a large number of records, see Zoom Line Chart.

For more information on using the Line Chart view, see Characteristics and Configure This View.
