Looker Studio > Charts Guide > Line Chart

Line charts are best for tracking changes over short or long overtime. Compare how several things change over time relative to each other. When minor changes exist, line graphs are better than bar graphs. So If you hear that key phrase "over time," that’s your clue to consider using line charts for your data.

  • Line Chart — Single Axis: to trend over time.

  • Line Chart — Double-Axis: to trend over time but if one of the data set compared is significantly smaller than the rest. Best practice to put those metrics on the second's Axis. Else line may a straight line on the X-Axis.
