KB81670: Creating visual representation of data using the Line Chart


Nida Imtiaz

Product Manager, Senior • Strategy


This article illustrates some quick facts about line charts. You can even download the dossier to view it in MicroStrategy Desktop.

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
A line chart or line graph is a type of chart which displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. It is a basic type of chart common in many fields. Line charts are most often used to visualize data that changes over time.
 
If you have a line chart, you can change the look of the data markers to make them easier to distinguish. Some are articles, that talk about these data markers:
 

  1. Line Chart: Square
  2. Line Chart: Circle
  3. Line Chart: Ring

 
It displays information as a series of data points called ‘markers’ connected by straight line segments.
 
It is similar to a scatter plot except that the measurement points are ordered (typically by their x-axis value) and joined with straight line segments. Line Charts show how a particular data changes at equal intervals of time.
