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
