Line and area charts
In this exercise, we will use a line chart to track three important financial indicators for Threads Ltd: total sales amount (or revenue), total COGS, and gross profit. Then we will see how these measures move over time using area charts.
Line charts are a great way of tracking historical changes in a small number of features. But, you will see that area charts do not always make great replacements for line charts.
If you have lost any progress, close any open reports and reload 3_1_line_and_area_charts.pbix
