custom line chart

Hello

I'm working on Quality Control data

I have the following fields (fix period, release number, and the number of defects)

releases are maximum five but will change as time goes on (analysis on last 5 releases

I want to have a line chart with dimension being the fix period, and the second dimension being the release number

in the expressions I want to show two types of lines (dashed and continuous)

I want to count the defects that are backported (continuous line) and defects that are potential-back-port (dashed line)

as you know the line chart will work fine if we have one dimension and N expressions

or 2 dimensions and 1 expression

how can I force a line chart to show the two types of lines (2 expressions) without having the dimensions being grouped (default behaviour)

I can walk on water when it freezes

Create a calculated dimension that combines the release number with the defects class:

= [release number] & [back_ported_yesno]

Or create two charts, give one a transparent background and put it on top of the other.
