line chart with data pairing

Hi

 

Does anyone knows if it is possible to have data pairing on a line chart?

For example, with the data set as follows:

DateProductIDDefectiveAccepted
1/3/20231901000
1/3/202322001200
1/3/202331001500
1/3/20234301500
2/3/202031501300
2/3/2020321502300
2/3/202033801600
2/3/2020343501800
3/3/202312301900
3/3/202321401400
3/3/202333201500
3/3/20234401200

 

I was trying to create a line chart with 4 sets of lines (one solid, one dotted) to represent each productid, with 2 lines each; one for defective and one for accepted.

With the date in the x-axis field, and productid in the Legend field, I am unable to add more than 1 column in the y-axis field; hence am unable to create the 8 lines I was hoping to.

Was hoping to get some help here in this channel.

Any guidence is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

With the native line chart you can use the small multiples to open the chart per ProductID, as shown below:

Besides that, you have the "Advanced Line Chart" in the AppSource. Please find below how the free version looks like:
