Details on Line from Data Table


Use this alternative if you want to add lines to a visualization based on an existing data table in your analysis. A simple example is if you have a data table with number of sales for two different products on different dates, you can also have a data table with the minimum acceptable number of sales on any given day for the different products. If the data with number of sales is set as a visualization, you can add lines from the minimum number of sales data table. This gives you an easy way of seeing whether any products have fewer sales than you expect.
