A line chart is best suited for showing trends over time because it effectively represents continuous data, such as sales trends by month or year.
Adding a color field or using conditional formatting allows you to visually highlight specific data points, such as the top 10 customers by sales. This approach makes important values stand out in a bar chart.
Customizing colors, fonts, and label sizes can significantly enhance a chart's readability, making it easier for viewers to interpret the data and insights being presented.
A hierarchy allows you to create a drill-down structure from a higher-level category (like "Category") to a more specific level (like "Sub-Category"). This provides greater detail in the data when needed.
A dual-axis chart is used to compare two related measures, such as sales and profit, on the same chart but with separate axes. This helps in identifying relationships or patterns between the two measures.
