Line Charts: How to bring a line to front when they overlap

Hello all,

 

I've got a line chart here down below.

From periods 202001 to 202006 I have my actuals. However, it's being covered up by my forecast line.

Yes, they are the same values, but the actuals end at 202006 so far.  So I want the beginnning half of that forecast line to be in blue.

Any suggestions on how to bring the blue line to the front?

 

Thanks for any help

 

Tom

Hi @tmendoza ,

 

The lines in a line chart are placed accordingly to the order you placed them on the values so the first value you place will be on the bottom.

 

Be aware that if you already have all the chart setup you need to take out the values and place them in the order you want from scratch (changin them of position will not give expected result) start with the one you want on the back of the cart and end with the one you want on top.
