Line and area chart visualizations show data on a graph by connecting plotted points with a line. Each point represents a single value in your data. You can drill-down in both chart types by double-clicking on a data point.

A line chart shows just the line connecting the dots on the graph and works well if you have a large amount of data to analyze.
