Line charts are great for displaying data over time, or other sequential data.
-
Start with an Excel workbook or other data source that contains your data.
-
In a Power View sheet, create a table with:
-
A field containing the values you want to plot.
-
A date/time or other sequential field.
-
-
With the table selected, on the Design tab > Line.
The date/time field should go in the Axis box and the value field in the Values box. If they don’t, move them in the Fields List.
That’s the basic line chart.
