FAQ
Area Chart Maker questions
- When should I use an area chart instead of a line chart?
- Use an area chart when the magnitude or the cumulative total matters. Use a plain line chart when you only care about the trend or need to compare many series precisely.
- Can I make a stacked area chart?
- Yes. With two or more numeric columns you can toggle stacking so the series add up to the total.
- Does it support dates on the x-axis?
- Yes — years, months, quarters, weekdays and ISO dates are all detected automatically.
