Line chart

Create line charts for trends and time series in BeCharts.

Back to Chart types.

Line charts are best for showing trends over time or across ordered categories, and for comparing multiple series. For a guided maker page with templates, FAQs, and export options, see the line chart maker.

Data format

  • Recommended: dataset.dimensions + dataset.source
  • Typical shape: first column is the category (often time), remaining columns are numeric series

Example dimensions:

  • ['date', 'sales', 'profit']

Import and edit support

  • Import: ✅ (CSV / Excel / Paste / Google Sheets)
  • Edit: ✅ (table editor)

Customize highlights

  • Series: smooth/step line, line style, area fill, symbols, labels
  • Axes: axis type, ticks/labels, split lines (when using cartesian axes)
  • Legend / Title: multi-series labeling and chart heading

Tips

  • Use consistent time granularity (day/week/month) for clean trends.
  • If the chart looks noisy, try smoothing or aggregating your data.
