How to build Line charts in Tableau | Tableau Charts

Line charts are very easy in Tableau, but sometimes, you might find yourself fighting with the automated capabilities of Tableau. In this video, I explain how to draw a line chart and how to control discrete and continuous fields, so you fully understand why the axis behaves the way it does.

Thank you. I've found your style to be effective. Subbed, categorized, and saved!

Hi Tim, pretty well explained . I have a time field to present in discrete, as you explained there is not axis, but the years are coming in the top of the chart instead on the bottom, is it possible to get it to the bottom like its coming in the video.TIA

Lets say we have a line chart for Sales (Columns shelf), per Region (Rows). Is there a way to display the line chart showing only min and max values for Sales? (So just two marks for Sales, min and max, for each region)

Hello, what should I do when doing an in place upgrade to an existing version of Tableau to the newest version on Windows and it presents me with the error “the older version takes precedence” and I am unable to finish the install

Hi. Do you know if Tableau Prep is part of Tableau Server? I was asked to see if I could get Tableau Prep at work and they said they didn't have any licenses but thought it came with the Tableau Server. I'm waiting to find out but I'm wondering if you know? Sorry to ask on the line graph video. But curious.

Hello! The Years in my data set are represented as separate columns instead of in one column as in your example. Can I make the trend show as a line chart? As of now, when I pull in each individual Year - they are showing as individually and not in a line. Thank you in advance if you see this.

Great vid. Helped me on something I was stuck on. Also LOL at pretending not to know what happened with Afghanistan in 2002.
