Smooth line

Use a smooth line visualization to show trends over time when your data is noisy.

A smooth line visualization can compare trends and cycles, infer relationships between variables, or show how a single variable is performing over time.

For an effective smooth line visualization, use a time column in the x-axis, such as years, quarters, months, or days. If the x-axis shows something else, such as Canada, Netherlands, UK, and US, use a bar or column visualization.

For example, this smooth line visualization shows the trend in quantity of sold products over year.
