    Hi All, 

     

    I have found the answer to my question; thanks for all those who helped out. 

     

    I did the following steps to plot the line chart: 

     

    Step 1: changed the date type to timestamp in the X axes

    Step 2: created a new measure and summed the values using the sum function 

     

    Thank you 🙂

Hi Anonymous 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

>> shows the changes in the cost over time.

In the line chart, it will do some aggregation calculations on the data based on the abscissa.

 

>>I just wanted to create  a simple chart (which can be created in excel in 2 min)

could you give some sample data and expected output? thanks.
