Line Chart for Multiple Categories

Hello!

I have the following Simple Table:

CategoryJanFebMarJunJulAugSepOctNovDec
00130452050556085704055
00215202530206575908085
00335405070605070809095

Where Category is a Dimension and Jan/Feb/Mar are Expressions.

What I want is to create a Line Chart where every line should be a different Category.

For example: I should have a line for Category 1 where values are 30, 45, 20.

X Axis: Categories by Month

Y Axis: Values (30, 45, 20)

Do you know how could I do this?

Thank you!

Hi mart,

for that you'd have to turn it around and have the months as dimension and the categories as expressions - one line represents one expression running along a dimension, so if your months are your dimension, you can have three expressions = three lines.

Thanks for your answer.

But I don't know how many Categories could I have because it depends on those who are imported from a QVD and it also depends on the selected date, that's where the value vary and also the Categories shown.

It can't be done with the months as expressions. If you use more than one expression then each expression will get a line. What you can do if your source data is in the format you posted is use the Crosstable function to transform the data and create a Month field. See attached example.

Can you attach a sample file for analysis, if possible?
