What is the best alternative to a line chart for showing data over time?
Scatter Chart
A slightly different approach to visualising change over time is using a scatter chart. Instead of displaying variation each week or month, you can use scatter charts to show percentage growth over a period.
What is a line chart best used to effectively display?
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.
