Series

Show dots
Shows dots on the line
Linear interpolation
Choose the type of interpolation for your chart:
  • Linear: Uses the least number of data points, resulting in a more jagged line
  • Smoothed: Uses more data points than Linear interpolation, resulting in a smoother line
  • Cubic: Uses the more data points than Smoothed interpolation, resulting in a more precise smooth line
Line weight
Specify the boldness of the line
Crisp bar edges
Sharpens the bar edges
Value labels
Shows the values of each bar directly on the chart
Use custom styles
Style your lines
  • Solid
  • Dashed
  • Dotted
Dual Y-axis
Selected by default; if deselected, the line will use the same range values as the left y-axis, which may make it more difficult to spot trends in your line
Last X columns as lines
Turns the specified number of columns into lines

Default value is 1, meaning the last column in your result set is charted as a line
