# Line Chart

## Introduction

The **Line Chart** displays data of one or more series as lines:

## Expected Data and Graph Designer

The Line Chart expects data in a two (or more) column format such as:

| Date       | Revenue | Cost |
| ---------- | ------- | ---- |
| 23 January | 38      | 24   |
| 24 January | 39      | 24   |
| 25 January | 40      | 24   |
| 26 January | 40      | 24   |

In the Graph Designer you can then select the column you want to use for your x-axis:

Hence, the x-axis column does not need to be the first column. However, for consistency purposes it is recommended to always use your first column for the x-axis.

For each column, besides the one used by the X-axis one line will be displayed.
