Line Chart – Step Change Not Clearly Visible for Small Value Differences
Hi bchappidi,
Thankyou danextian Ritaf1983, for you helpful insights.
The main issue seems to be with the data itself. In your example, there’s a noticeable difference between the two datasets, such as Test A and Test B. For Test A, the value changes over time are larger (for instance, "+2 std dev" increases from 6.63% to 11.99%), making the step changes more apparent. On the other hand, Test B shows only slight changes (like 10.34% to 10.63%), so the step line appears almost flat, even though it is still changing.
Also enable the Data Labels option in the line chart. This will display the exact values at each point, making even small changes easier to see.
Thank you.
